right now I'm sitting here staring at the wall

the wall which holds that cursed picture 

the one which has me 

smiling

laughing 

for you 

with you

i remember how you held me then

with so much love

the same arms which now minutes ago held my friend 

whispering how much i never meant to you 

how hard it was for you to pretend 

pretend that you loved me

how you gazed at me 

with such LOVE when i took you to our first date 

when you whispered sweet nothings into my ears

tell me why'd you make me fall for you 

why did you pretend 

why did you make me love you

i'm sitting here with all the scars

scars which make me who i am

scars which i hated

scars which you acknowledged

scars that you grew tired of

you told me 

that 

you loved me

loved me for who i am 

all the scars and rough edges

yet you left me

tired of me

i never knew 

that someone could grow tired of loving

tired of caring

i wonder when did you stop

and since when was i so oblivious

for believing 

in redemption

for hoping

a chance to live again.
