He paused and sighed
Said “I don’t remember
What it’s like to say I love you.”
The phone fell to the floor
And I landed beside it
Sobbing, struggling for breath

You can’t remember how
You held me all those days?
The nights we stayed up past five
On a school night nonetheless?
And every, day, I spent, with you.
How can you forget after the past year?!

Laying here silently in a puddle of tears
Aching, dying inside
Angry, saddened, at a loss for words
Yet you continue on, cutting the words deeper
Each words hurts more than the previous
Forming mental scars in my mind

I can’t believe that you don’t remember
After I admitted I’ve loved you
And after you said it every day?
Since I first laid eyes on you
You can’t remember the bond we had?
I can’t believe you. I can’t believe you.

Unaware of how much you’re killing me
You go on to say how you forget all of this
The soulless tone of your voice, it stings
Saying this now, I ask, did you ever love me?
Or was it a lie at the time as well?
Every. Single. Day… was it all a lie?
