This one is based on season 1 of the show 'you' which is on Netflix, I highly recommend it

***

The tears running down my cheeks

The words I left unsaid

The way you look at me

Disgust

Fear

It all fills your eyes

I see none of the love I saw before

Where did it all go?

Just mere moments ago

You promised me

You promised me you loved me

You said you would never let me go

Now the pain is ripping into my heart

Into my chest

It is all for a good cause

That's what I told myself

I did it to protect you

You were never going to do it yourself

Someone had to

I was meant to be your knight in shining armor

I was meant to be the one you saw as your savior

As your protector

Now you see me as a murderer

Someone you once loved

The pain fills me

Overflowing

Sharp 

Stabbing

Make it stop

Make it stop

Make it stop

You run

You try to escape

You can't

The keys

They were with me

Safe

Deep down I knew I couldn't trust you

I knew you would hurt me

I knew it was all too good to be true

But I still fell anyway

Fell into your trap

And now you're hurting me

The way I hurt you

I get it

I truly get it

But it doesn't make it hurt any less

It doesn't make it stop

The only thing to make it stop

Is to make you stop

I get up

The pain

The pain is pulling me back

Begging me to give into its incessant pleading

Pleading to let go of you

But I was the one who had to let go

Your smell

Oh how it pulled me in

Sweet

Lovely

Toxic

Just like you

You had so many layers didn't you

You hid so much from me

From all of us

But from yourself most of all

But you're gone now

There is no way to expose those secrets

Those lies

Those truths

But you're everywhere now

Even though you're gone

I see you everywhere

I regret it

I do regret it

You were my love

I was your love

We were meant to be forever

But you turned on me

You turned on me and I couldn't get you back

No matter what I did

I had to get rid of you

Even though I loved you

I had to say goodbye

Forever.
