you say you never meant to hurt me...
then why did you?
if you cared about me at all
you would have avoided causing me any pain

i cried for hours in the shower
until the water went cold
sitting there with my knees
pulled to my chest
the water falling down onto me
like a summer rain

i couldn't get out of bed
it was as if i was weighted down
by the hole in my heart
that you replaced with a
thousand pound block of cement
my bed became my security
but a place that also haunted me

i couldn't eat for weeks
the ache in my belly overwhelmed me
nothing i ate would stay down
food never once crossing my mind
even water sounded painful to digest

the thought of not being able to love you
and knowing she would get to made me

lovesick
