Hold me close, my dear,
Promise me you won't let go
And I'll sleep soundly.
Why did I trust you?
You only betrayed my heart
In the end. Traitor.
I just needed love
But you gave me such heartbreak,
That I died inside.
Your brown eyes burn holes
Into my soul and my heart;
Do you see it all?
Maybe if I cried
A river of silver tears
Then you'd know my pain.
You ask who hurt me,
Who broke my heart and my smile.
It was you, darling.
If I ever see
Your smug face again, ever,
My rage will not cease.
I hate and I love
All the things you've done to me
But do I love you?
I have made many
Mistakes, and they still haunt me.
You were my biggest.
Why do I write poems
That you will not ever read?
Are they meant for me?
You kill me, you thorn
That is buried in my heart,
You only bring pain.
Can I just forget
All of the time we have spent
Pretending to love?
