Were you ever really mine?

Were you ever really mine?
Was there ever anything that wasn't a lie?

I know what it feels like now
Had it coming for a long time
Your perfect face was a trap
A lie

The slight dimple on your left cheek when you gave your biggest smile

The marks that would show on your body
After I tasted you

The gleam in your eyes when I used to come home

The way you'd stand on your tip toes
And hug me tightly as if you'd never let go

How my ring looked on your finger

Bright
Shining
And huge
Just like your promises to me

Everything
A lie

You were a mistake
My biggest mistake

Now I stand here
My face wet from tears
A permanent frown on my face
Desperate
Hopeless
Exhausted

I don't know how to live anymore
I'm just a broken man
In a shell
Waiting for the waters
To take me away

Maybe in another lifetime
I'll learn to live again

But not in this one
Not here, not now.
