The love, the hate, and the beautiful

Fake Lover

Why must you do that constantly?

Tell me you love me

but act completely different.

You say that we're just in a rough patch right now

but it'll smooth out eventually.

Do you really expect me to believe that our love

is enough to survive this?

It takes so much more than that.

Like trust,

communication,

and dedication.

How can I trust you when you give me no reason to?

You've lied and cheated

and you tell me that it meant nothing

when you were with her.

Obviously it did,

because if it didn't

you would've put a stop to it.

And now I'm so confused.

My head tells me "leave him

he's no good for you."

But, my heart says,

" forgive him. Don't give up."

I miss the way that things used to be.

There was a connection

a flame between us

and our love was on fire.

But now, we find ourselves

tearing at the seams.

Arguments over stupid little things.

Like, who was supposed to set the reservation for a date.

Or who was supposed to buy groceries

for the next couple of weeks.

Our love has burned out

and I'm not sure how much I can take anymore.

Your love isn't real

it never was.

This is the end of me and you.

It'll hurt like hell when we part ways

but at least I can find someone

who shows me what real love is.

And I know that the next lover of mine

won't be fake like you always were.
