Congratulations

A lot of things have happened

A lot of promises made, broken

Crushed into a powder

sprinkled on my grave

blown in the wind

like my dreams

My dream

of living a so-called perfect life

just you and me

till our last suffocating breath

These past few months

have been a cruel joke

conjured up by some sadistic comedian

hoping to make the devil laugh

Well,

congratulations

you, with your sick games,

lies, deception, fabrication

of a so-called forever

made the devil laugh

Congratulations

you strung a web of lies

even the devil sat back and applauded

knowing he couldn't do any better

I trusted you

let you into my life

thinking you could have been my world

my reason to breathe

my everything

But no,

that was just another one of your lies

another string you plucked

that I listen to

It was all lies

the picnic,

the movies,

the bowling alley,

the ice rink...

Congratulations

on fooling me into thinking you

of all people

were the one

the one to heal the rips and tears

placed in my delicate heart

by a heart surgeon

that didn't know what they were doing

Congratulations

on your so-called victory

over my heart

over my soul

over me

Congratulations

on making the devil laugh
