The guy beside you know all your names
he thinks this makes you his slave
  and this makes him brave
He knows all your stories
He tells them to friends and they never end

On your knees you appear to be
a rose colored swan but we know all too well
  your fabrication  this mess that your making

Everyone needs to touch you
To know that your real   To feel righteous wrong
There are things  put to bed  
that no longer need to be
they say your lovely on your back
wide eyed and watching a clock on the wall
nothing can empty a mind

Some of us like your screams
You know what they want
Need is controlled by want

Guilt is hot and we covet the steel
you once wore your heart on your sleeve
now you wear something
    You and I we have never met
      One is us is lyin'
   our masquerade wont hold up under torture

I was born to write this
now let me fulfill the prophecy
  bring this to logical conclusion
encircle the circle    my very last opinion

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

A self fulfilling prophecy perchance?
There are some excellent lines here.
Would love the explanantion of the inspiration.  
A little confused by the ending.

Grin...
The title is a bit scary...I gotta read this again.

Thanks for the replies, the best way i can describe my mindset when i was writing this, would be to imagine a downward spiral relationship, a mutual parasitic relationship, then add in a third party and just brace for this huge egocentric explosion.I consider myself a watcher, a passive onlooker and this kind of describes how i percieve the world and the human condition.
