You overtook,
You overlooked,
You swore,
You bore,
Left both of our hearts sore.
At first when you had lost me,
You swore you’d never let go again.
If you’d just have one more chance,
You swore you’d never let go again.
I gave you that chance.
I gave you my heart.
You threw it away.
The fault is yours, at the end of the day.
I supported you.
I gave you my all.
I gave my love to you.
You watched me fall.
You stood back,
Barely said a word.
Watching me as I ached,
Shunning me as I burned.
Yet still at the end of the day,
You claimed to love me.
And at the end of the day,
That was enough for me.
Singing,
Screaming,
Loving,
Pleading.
Like a song, my heart was beating.
My feelings for you,
Palpable and overwhelming,
Venomous and Bittersweet,
I picked my poison.
You made me wish
For more than you could give.
You made me wish
For what you’d once been.
