Persephone Sep 2017
You're worried about her state of mind
but you chose me
And still worry about her.
What was I thinking??
Putting myself in this place
Did it to myself.
Ignored the signs.
You told me you loved me first
Yeah you were drunk
I thought the things you say when you're drunk was real honesty?
Who put that In my head?
Yeah I know, I should've known.

Side piece has a ***** ring to it.

Do you sleep better with her now that your lies have aired?
Do you feel good about yourself lying to me for months

If I could go back I wouldn't text you "hey"
Should have ran the other way

Stupid of me again
to fall in love with the idea of what love could have been
Persephone Sep 2017
I want to be sad
but I know I should be stronger than that.
The lies you told filled my heart with love
I couldn't have been happier.

I want to cry
but you're not worth those tears
anymore
If I shed
its for myself
for ignoring what deep down I knew
I didn't have you
Not truly
You were never mine to have

This hole that is left
feels like death
How can I ever let myself love again?
Persephone Sep 2017
Was any of it real?

Click, click
An empty shell drops to the floor

I am done
saying **** IT to it all
cool metal to the temple
quick squeeze of the trigger

Click, click
man down.

When was it that I went wrong?
Was it when I was four
and my step-daddy loved his pretty girl

Running, running, away from the house
a pack of matches and starter fluid
I want to burn it all down
How can my mother live in that house knowing what happened
He's in the walls...

Did I go wrong when she was born?
I brought innocence in this world
knowing the evils it holds

Did you forget you attract the demons?

Foolish girl, who said you deserved to be loved?

Click, click

My last goodbye
Don't shed a tear
for my demise
Waste it on another fool who ..

— The End —
