Just to make it through

We showed our love.
Starting slow, but gaining speed.
We were all the other would ever need
But you decided trying someone new.

My heart was shattered.
My soul destroyed.
Because you wanted him.
And I would never have a place in your heart again.

You said you hated him.
The lies you said to each other.
Lies meant to fool me.
Her now forgotten lover.

Life has taught that love is a lie.
Causing people to selflessly die.
But the night you chose him.
I died inside.

Your joy means more.
More than mine ever did.
As long as you're happy I'm ok.
That's what I tell myself to get through the day.
