"If you loved me"

How could I love you anymore then I did?

Knowing you existed in this world alone
set my skin on fire
every word you spoke was a holy grail
your breath was mine in a singular life force

"you should have given me a chance to explain"*

No need to explain what was right before my eyes
you see...
they betrayed you not me
your words stung like bathing in a bee's nest
(you even used the word love)

"You see, I do love you"

Can you tell me where it has gotten me?
