it's interesting
i'm thinking
how things can change so quickly
the fall is suddenly less freeing
and i hate the way my heart is beating
because now the beating hurts
and i feel like i'm worth less than dirt
and it didn't even take a day
for everything to change
it took just one moment
suddenly i'm frozen
heart is broken
from the words not even spoken
they were written down
and i feel like a clown
you laugh at
wearing the dunce hat
a fool
a tool
used
abused
now i am a recluse
i feel so obtuse
how did it happen?
where did i go wrong?
how did i do it again?
now i sing a sadder song
oh it was just an instant
but i guess in a different perspective
it must have taken weeks
for the full truth to leak
maybe less if i'm being honest
though i have no fucking clue
how did it come to this?
what the hell did i do?
and what do i do now?
i don't even know how
this all came to be
so caged, though i was free
what do you mean?
i thought you loved me
i guess i was wrong
i thought that you knew love isn't some shiny glittery work of art you can buy at the store to always make you feel good, but instead that it's a masterpiece of our own making
we have to work on it all the time, and yes, it's a lot of work, but i thought we were worth it
i guess you don't feel the same
you think this is some game
is it a game to you?
these tears tracking down my cheeks?
is this a play, a show, a circus?
you thought that you could just leave
when you'd built my hopes up like a tower
held me in my darkest hours
i trusted you with my very soul
then you left me feeling frigid, cold
who are you to say i'm not enough
when you wanted me enough to ask?
i tried my very best to be worth it
