pull out the knife,
from where you slid it in my side.
Let the blood,
rich and rosy,
drench your hands,
a reminder, a memento
to the times we passed
untainted, warm in the sun.
Avert your eyes,
from my prostrate pain,
out of sight,
you can raise your head,
pretending the role you played
didn’t bring me down.

"you were a parade of red flags but I screamed colour blind from the rooftops.
you see,
scarlet is the colour of both love and betrayal."

“Come closer” I hear you whisper
“Come closer, I’m here to stay”
“Come closer” I hear you say
“Come closer because I have changed”
“Come closer hear the rain”
“Come closer, rid the pain”
“Come closer- for we are one for eternity”
I move closer to you, only to find
the pile of lies you left behind.

I loved you more than I loved me
Ignoring all of your flaws
because of what you said to me
Blinded by your love
I just gave you all of me
Now it is clear to me
That you are not who you said you are to be
Fake smiles, fake love, fake grasps
All of which you did just to say you had me
Your love was never what I imagined it to be

So, it came as no surprise,
that I got caught in your lies.
You played my heart like a toy
then crushed, with sickening joy.
Everybody around knew…
You never loved me, did you?
about being betrayed by a lover

don't you dare put all the blame on me when i run out of patience
as i sit here, bruised and bloodied, in a war zone you created
it is not my job to validate your conscience, or intentions
when  it seems like every choice you make is immature
and selfish
do not blame me for being upset over your selfish actions

Why did I allow you
to crush me over
and over again

When will I
learn to stand
for myself
finally?

Can We?

Can we go back?
To the butterflies and shy touches
To the drunk nights and soft kisses
To when you looked at me with stars
Instead of the darkness that clouds your eyes

Can we?
I wanna go back and feel the warmth of your hand in mine
while we walk in the cold of july
When you held me close and smiled

Now all that's left is the memory of bliss
As your distance grows while seated beside me
Laughter turns to uncomfortable silence that slowly engulfs my memory

You were gone before I knew it,
but can we?
Go back to the past
where I know you loved me.

It's hard to convince your mind
That I cared for you
I wish you knew from the start
