You know what you do
When you say “I love you.”

You drive me insane
With the flames
I have for you,
And you make me strange
With the call of my name,
But a whisper
Sets me ablaze
With the sound of you.

How can one
Speak like you do,
And hypnotize me
In a trance
that none can make
Or break the hold
That echos through my head.

But aside what is said
I believe that love is true.
You say “I love you”
And how openly
My heart bleeds out
In a fresh open wound.

But it is not true,
You use me,
As you always do.
And my scar burns
With every tear
When you love elsewhere.
