I did not know I could fall apart
Until the instant I felt your touch
All I wanted was to have you
I guess that was too much
 
In the midst of attention
I should have realized
All of your good intentions
Were bad ones in disguise
 
I was blinded by your words
Way too easily deceived
I should have stayed away
Instead I trusted you and I believed
 
You did not think about your lies
Until they were shredded apart
I saw who you really were
Not before you broke my heart
 
Now it is too late to turn around
Could never be the same
Think you still know who I am?!?
Have no right to make that claim
 
I used to be full of life
Carefree
No defenses to disarm
Fear has taught me not to love
It will always bring me harm
 
You have changed the way I think about
What I know
What I feel
Showed me that despite what they say
Sometimes wounds never heal
 
I still want you in my life
Although I do not know why
Since the day you entered
You have only made me cry
 
You pushed me around each day
I gave you total control
Let you manipulate my feelings
Without you I wasn't whole
 
I sacrificed own happiness
Though it drove me insane
Managed to convince myself
You were worth the pain
 
Time passed away since then
I don't know what to do
How could I forgive and forget
After hell you put me through?
 
I am lost in my own emotions
Drowning in a deep empty sea
It is not you I miss tonight
It's who you pretended to be
This is one of my all time favorites. Written back in high school after having my heart broken for the first time. How strange that now we are together after all these years..
