"I love you, baby"
He sincerely say to her.
"Thank you", she replied.

I used to feel so alive;
when I was in your warmth
But now all we have is dead
And I've been sleeping in the cold.

He would say "I love you"
I knew he did
I knew I was his world
I knew he wanted to hold me
To keep me safe

So I said "I love you too"
He was my king
My tiger, my teddybear
He was my pillar

But he said "I know you don't"

I was confused
You know I don't?
Don't love you?
I was confused
I was offended
I was angry

You know I don't?
After everything...
You know I don't?
After all this time
You know I don't?
After all we had said and done for each other
After all the plans we had shared
After all the hurdles we'd jumped
After all the nights together and all the nights alone
After everything
You know I don't?

I didn't think that having your love rejected
Is just as bad as being actually rejected
It was a knee to the gut
A palm across my face
I was giving you my heart
and you were dropping it

"I love you"
"I know you don't"

I knew you loved me
I could see it
I could feel it

*Why couldn't you see it too?

I wanted to tell you about the fire
The fire that began with your crooked smile
The fire that ignited the light in my soul
The night you left I let it consume me whole

The same fire caused me to burn every bridge I ever built
I thought my heart was steel but I am                        melting
Those kerosene eyes set me on fire every time I looked into them

I wanted to tell you about the pillars of my heart
And the day you attacked them and caused the roof to cave in
over everything I've ever known to be true

I thought my biggest fear was fire
But the fire is all that                                     surrounds me now

They say you never know loneliness until you are given a forest
Only for someone to burn it down until it is                     *nothing

i finally have it
i came up to her and say it
the words came trembling
shivers all over my mouth

but finally it is done
i feel somewhat relieved
but then
she said

“who are you?”
