Pain.
Love.
In my head, these words are now synonymous.
And looking back on it all, I wish I had remained anonymous.
I gave you my everything.
I gave you my all.
And you cast me off the edge
For the pleasure of watching me fall.
I haven’t slept.
I can’t eat.
And this is all due
To your little feat.
You ripped out my heart.
You tore off my smile.
When I say your name,
My throat fills with bile.
Now every day is spent filled with strife,
For you’ve drained all the hope from my life.
You told me you’d wait.
You promised you’d try.
Now I’d be a rich man indeed,
If a dollar was worth but one lie.
I said that I’d love you,
Until the end of all time.
The feelings I kept
Were nothing but sublime.
My promise would have held,
After the Earth fell to the Sun.
But since my heart you have felled,
Eternity's done.
Throw me up on a cross,
So the world may witness my loss.
Stab me in the chest with the blade of your lie,
And I will bleed a million reasons why
I would still give you one last chance.
But fall for it again, I won’t.
Though I still care,
You don’t.
I cannot bear to live in the face of your lie,
I hate you.
I love you.
Goodbye.
I wrote this as a result of my first love. Needless to say, it was a long distance relationship, and she couldn't bear to keep it in her pants.
