You had me at hello, with your hallow love. You had me enchanted by your beautiful lies. I wanted your love so badly, that I let myself Live with your sins. You surely had me all figured out, you knew Me in the most vulnerable ways, that no one Else dared to venture. The things I hated about me, all my insecurities, You made them disappear from view. You knew my never-ending lists of fears, & How the insomnia would set in at night. Even when I managed to find sleep, my nightmares Interfered with any peace that I had left. But still you were there... Slowly & silently, I started to lose pieces of my sanity, and I could feel parts of my soul break within me. Yet I stayed because I thought this could be fixed. The fairy-tale I worked so hard to write, Became ruined with pieces of the reality of all we were. The Harshest thing I have ever heard you say, Is that you couldn't love me, broken this way. What way is it, that you can’t seem to handle? I’m broken because I tried, to be the perfection You wanted me to be. Despite everything I have done for you, it’s not Enough for you. You cannot love me broken, But I am broken because of you.

The Harshest Thing I Have Ever Heard
You had me at hello, with your hallow love. You had me enchanted by your beautiful lies. I wanted your love so badly, that I let myself Live with your sins. You surely had me all figured out, you knew Me in the most vulnerable ways, that no one Else dared to venture. The things I hated about me, all my insecurities, You made them disappear from view. You knew my never-ending lists of fears, & How the insomnia would set in at night. Even when I managed to find sleep, my nightmares Interfered with any peace that I had left.

You cannot love me broken, But I am broken because of you.
