He took something from me that I never wanted to give him.
Intimacy abandoned with secrets uncovered.
Burning new scars into my skin,
I'm left hurt and raw.
Tears fall without permission.
Flowing from me until I'm submerged enough to drown.
Oh please...just let me drown...
Tea leaves scattered in my cup cast the same pattern thrown along the floor.
The aroma of desperation so strong that he wears it like Cologne.
I won't let him kiss me anymore,
As I'm tired of the lies his lips tell and the metallic taste they suddenly hold.
Now I falter on broken wings.
He's a thief,
but I don't know how to stop my heart from loving him.
