never really love

What you gave me everyday

Was never really love. 

It was toxic, poison, 

You stained my blood black.

All of your words

I realize were all lies. 

Even the ring on my finger

Was all part of your twisted game. 

I fell for you so hard,

And I believed you did too. 

All of it was so untrue,

But I can't say I hate you. 

I could never hate

That beautiful voice

That pulled me into

This scheme in the first place. 

I used to think I wanted to write

For the rest of my life. 

You stopped that dream,

And now it is dead along with you. 

But when I meet up with you someday,

I hope that you will love me 

Different than you did before. 

Maybe my heart won't be forever torn.
