The Not Love Poem

I'd write a love poem

But i don't have anything to say

Because love left home

And died during it's escape

 

With no way of revival

It never really felt safe

In this house of games

And frivolous ways

 

You say i broke your heart in two

Well, you shattered mine

And refused to come help pick up the pieces

Now, who needs more help?

Me or you?

 

Failure is my motivation

But success is my greatest fear

And the lies that are whispered

Will always land in my ear

 

So the pen shall rest silent

And the paper will be blank

You'll probably cry bitter tears

I'll just laugh through my pain
