empty eyes

I let you see parts of me that no one ever saw.
I let my guard down so you could see
all the things I kept hidden from the scary world.
But then when I looked into your eyes,
I only saw empty eyes gazing at me.

And in that moment, I crumbled.
I crumbled because I knew that
you didn't love me like I loved you.
And you never loved me all along.
But you just stood there
as my heart broke into tiny pieces.
I gave you my everything,
so that I could watch you happy.
But you never cared about mine.
And when I speak to you about the way I feel,
you just let my words pass by,
pretending like it hurts you too.
But you'll never really know the ache that I felt,
because I hide it so well.

You play the victim,
like you didn't do anything wrong.
So prove that I'm wrong.
Because who said that you and I
would be forever?
You said it.
