Your life was like
A sunrise dawning
On a moonless night
It gave me
A sense of hope,
Brought from another life
And I tried and I tried
To make everything right
But the pain, how it gave
me no reason to fight
But your presence alone
Brought a light into my darkened world
I clinged upon your every word
Basked in the melodic tones of your voice
You whispered sweetly to me
And told me I could be anything I dreamed
But these dreams were not
Created by me
Time passed on, and I opened my eyes
To see my sweet dream be whisked away
Your claims were a fraud
And your whispers were lies
And I stood in disbelief
That I believed in your disguise
I tried to be someone
Tried to be better
Tried to be the me that would please you better
And now I've become nothing
But broken in your hands
And the fact is: reality tastes bitter
When lies are all you have
