We walk through this world
With all different eyes.
But the way I saw yours
The way they touched mine.
The way I lost myself
The way you'd always help
The way I couldn't tell
What this feeling was.

The way your fingers touched my hair.
The way you mended my heart's tears.
The way my heart fluttered at your smile.
The way the butterflies always flew miles.
The way you touched my skin.
The way I felt your laughs.
The way you held me.
You had my heart in your hands.
Why did you drop it?

The way I felt that hurt
The gut wrenching pain
The cries everyone heard
No one said anything.
They all just stared.
Pity in their eyes.
And watched the way
Your heart crushed mine.

From being so high
And ending so low
How I didn't know
The pain you had bestowed,
Upon me like a spell
Stuck in this cycle.
Never ending tears
Down a waterfall of miles.  
The way you caressed me.
The way you kissed me.
It should have been obvious.
My heart so naive,
Left in so much pain.

The way you faked everything.

The Way
You touched me gently
Leaving traces on my skin
I didn't know
You were writing in permanent marker.
Now I can't erase
The markings you've left
Within.

-Memories etched in with a blade.
