I loved you so deeply
So why did you leave me?
You said I was your world
So why forsake those words?
I thought you were the one
So why did you run?
You once made me smile
So why did I cry all the while?
I gave you all my soul
So why did it feel stolen?
Your friends loved me
Told you, you should marry me
So why am I left now
This aching pain in my heart
My head telling me you're all wrong
My ears keep hearing this sad song
Why is your voice on repeat in my head
Telling me those sweet nothings?
Those times in your bed
Where you would tell me
I was beautiful
Both inside and out
Where did those days go?
You said it was me
That I was our undoing
Is that why I'm left here now
Full of all those regrets
And all those unpaid debts
Why does my breath still catch
Everytime you hurt me?
Why does it feel like my heart lies
In the palms of your hard hands?
Why does it feel like you are squeezing
The life force out of me?
You said you loved me
You would protect me
You would kill anyone
Who laid a hand on me
Why did you lay your hands
On my face
And cup my chin
And smile into my eyes
When those were all lies?
How could you break the heart
Of a sweet, innocent girl
And say nothing at all?
You tore me apart
You killed me
But I am still living
With all of these wounds
And sapped of all of my strength
How does it feel now?
Knowing that you had me
You did it, you won
And I lost a losing battle
I guess there's no shame in it
You will never know how much I cared
And I will never believe you hurt me
All on purpose
I guess thats why they call it love
You taught me how it goes
And of course, how it ends
And here we are
Mere acquaintances
Holding onto days passed
Of being in each other's arms
Why am I still alive
When it feels like I'm dead inside?
Why did I get hurt?
Why treat me like dirt?
I take solace in karma
It makes me feel a lot calmer
You hurt me so bad
You fucked me up so good
You did it, you won
And I simply
Lost a losing battle
And there's no shame in it.

Nice
You manage to hold your ground in an emotional battlefield, it seems like your upset but you fight back and that is espectable, kudos to you my friend.
A very unique read.
