Love Was Like... 10-09-19

Love...
Love was opening the closed door for them,
When everything made the door slam close.
Love was meeting them late at night,
To hold them in your embrace.
Love was...
The pain that flowed down your cheeks,
When no one was watching.
Love was the word,
I despised the moment you walked away.

How could I open myself up again...
Just to feel you push me away?
How could I believe this would turn out different,
Than the first time?
Your words,
Sounded so genuine.
Your lips felt so true...
But your actions,
Told me another story.

I learned,
You truly don't love me...
The way you say you do...
Your definition of love is...
Fucked in the mind.
You beat it to a pulp.
It doesn't send chills down my spine...
It sends tears,
Flowing,
Like a river.

My vision becomes blurred at the sound of your name.
Pain and anger,
Surges in my veins.
How could I say I love you,
when you don't feel the same?
How could I say,
I want you in the future...
When you push me away just because of stress...

What happened to talking things over?
What happened to...
I'll be there..
What happened to...
Us?

We promised to open up,
But all I feel is the shut down button. .
Taking over once more.
Pain is all I feel at the mention of your name.
Maybe it's for the best...
But I didn't want it to end this way...
Not again.
Not like last time
But at least I know it wasn't my fault...
Cause I really tried this time.
