Today I lost you
I bored you.
You never loved me
But I always did.
You looked me in the eye,
Kissed me in the mouth,
Made my body yours,
I don't have anymore.
I am used
With no excuse.

I still want you
I still need you
I still love you.
But that's not enough,
I couldn't make you feel,
Your emptiness remains
Now I'm empty too.

Maybe you once cared
Now I'm here alone
Crying it out
Because I had agreed
Not to care about you.

Just remember me,
That I was once yours,
When this won't be
Maybe you'll miss me.

I don't mind
That you don't care,
I'll love for both of us,
If only in silence.

Am I a burden to you?
Are you ashamed of me?

You want me sometimes
I only have you at that time.
I was afraid of
pushing too much,
Pulling too much,
Loving too much
Boring too much,
My fears were true.

Your indifference scares me
How you're perfectly fine
And I'm breaking inside
I'll put on a fake smile.

I can't do this
I can't not have you in my life.
Don't rip yourself away from me,
Please, I'm begging you.

I truly can't believe
That this was ever fake,
And it was so easy for you
To let me go.

When I was in your arms
I felt all the warmth,
One body, not two,
I was such a fool.

Now you push me away
Yet hold me when we're alone.
I've become a convenience,
I can't make myself leave.

I was always there,
Sometimes you were.
I'll stay here for a bit more,
There is always hope.

I just want to know,
Will you notice that I'm gone?
Will I cross your thoughts?

The pain of loving you is great,
Knowing that
You'll never love me back
Breaks my heart.

Your words have stung,
My eyes burnt,
With so many tears
Only shed in loneliness.

A contract was made,
And I was perfectly OK,
Discretion was key,
No feelings could be said,
Those were the terms.

Now I'm barely in your life,
You pushed me out
Without a warning,
Now I'm left wanting.

Let's go back to how we were,
With everything here and there,
I want both my lover and my friend.

That last kiss spelled goodbye
Yet I didn't know why,
It was slow and bittersweet,
Shorter than it should have been.

These lines make no sense,
But in my distress,
They're clear as glass,
The emotions in display.

I now realize that
I wasn't your happiness,
That you barely liked me
As a friend,
I was just the easiest choice.

I can't grasp
How we got here,
How I got this low,
Begging for crumbs.

My heart is resigned to you,
To whatever you want,
Even if that's not me,
And never has been.

I'm sorry I failed,
I lost my friend,
My lover,
Now it's over.
