If you give too much to someone
it gives them more to take away
leaving yourself with nothing
should you ever see that day

The pain of loss is not forgotten
so it takes years to get it back
only this time it is different
there are parts of it you lack

Where once you trusted everything
there's now an element of doubt
Where once you gave yourself completely
there's a piece you hide and wont let out

The things you thought were here forever
have been shown to never last
And the people in your future
pay tolls for others from your past

And then one day there is a moment
a twisted clarity descends
that happy ever after
is not the way your story ends
