If Life Doesn't Kill You, Emptiness Will.

Toying

Only one question resides in my mind
And it adds a million others to it
Is it fake?
Are you real?
Are you lying?

Suddenly I can't breathe again
It feels like someone has their hands
Wrapped tightly around my neck
I start to choke and choke and choke
And for once I feel more free
Than I ever have before
And then it stops
And I no longer feel that way

Do you mean it when you say
That you love me?
That you're in love with me?
If not, don't hide it from me.
I know you're lying,
But hiding it away?
That'll only hurt the both of us.

Are you just toying with my emotions?
Is that what this is?
I've tried to protect you
With only the kindest words
And I fell in love doing so
But you don't really love me back, now, do you?
