I'm in ruins because of you.
you promised me
you didn't mean to hurt me,
but I know that
you're giving your best effort
to break my heart.
you broke my only rapture
and now I'm left with a broken hymn
that I sing by myself
when I can't manage the
silent expression of my pain.
you bring out the depression in me
and you never clean up after yourself.
i have to sweep away the sadness
and I always cut my hands
on the broken glass.
I'm on a borderline meltdown.
you lied straight to my face.
all of the promises
were inevitably broken.
you're always careful to
cover your tracks.
when I was younger,
I thought love was beautiful.
watching my parents be in love
made me expect the same
trust, honesty, affection, and love.
but when it came to be my turn
to express my love for another
they turned around and
gave affection to someone else.
I was left empty and shattered
while you skipped around me
because you won.
you won my heart and
I never even saw yours.
it hurts being just
a good enough option. a time filler.
i used to think it hurt
when I liked someone when
they had no romantic feelings for me,
but I realize the real pain now
is when I'm head over heels in love
and my lover merely likes me.
I'm not enough for you
and you've proved that to me
time and time again.
you fill the extra space with
pretty girls and I fill my emptiness
with broken hearts, regret, and loneliness
our story lasted a lifetime
but I think it's time to
put it back on the shelf
