A CUP OF SCORPIO VENOM

the heartless has a heart

the heartless has a heart

i just wish that i could hurt you
the same way that you hurt me.

i'd bring you flowers and love letters,
kiss you on the forehead and hold your hand.
i'd tell you that you're my world,
that i never want to lose you,
that you are my forever.

then, when you're not expecting it,
i would rip your heart from your chest.
i'd tie a noose around your neck
and let you dangle over a busy bridge,
watching all of the happy people below,
knowing that you could never have that,
that you aren't good enough for that,
that you are just a waste of space
and a poor excuse of a human.
i'd watch the tears stream down your cheeks,
and listen as you cry yourself to sleep
and as you stare at your own reflection,
knowing how much better off i am without you,
that i'm happy now that you're out of my life,
that you were the reason for my unhappiness,
that now i found true happiness in someone other than you.

but the truth is,
i could never do any of that to you -
to put someone through all that i did.
and definitely not you.
because, even though, in the end, you hurt me,
for years, you stayed by my side,
loving me.
