What If?

Never loved you,
Not even once.
Did you think my words,
Really meant anything?

I hate the way you bite your lip,
When you’re deep in thought.
I hate it when you look at me,
And a smile lights your face.

You’re much too cheerful,
You care too much,
And never think before you act.
I really do hate that.

I hate those faces that you make,
When you think there’s no one near.
I hate the way you’d give up all,
Just to be with me.

I waited for that look,
To enter in your eyes,
The look of sweet devotion,
So I could tear it all apart.

You’re such a hindrance,
You cramp my style,
So I thought up a good way,
To make you stay away.

Just say what I was thinking,
The cold and bitter truth,
I’m glad it’s working well,
I hope you don’t come back.

That’s right, I played you,
You fell so hard.
I won the bet,
I told them all.

I revealed your love,
Pushed you away,
Because I had no interest,
In what you had to say.

At least that’s what I said,
When I saw your hollow face,
Knowing that you’re better off,
Without me by your side.

Now I’ve lost my light,
My reason for life,
My souls so dead and empty,
All because I hurt you.

But no more,
This marks the end,
Go find another,
Someone who'll protect you.

But now I wonder why,
It is I let you go,
With the hope of saving,
When I’ve hurt you more.

It’s for the best,
You don’t need me,
Or so I thought,
When I spoke,

But what if I was wrong?

Author notes

    I loved it!
    It was so venimous. You could feel the words spat out and you can imagine the scene in your head. It's just evil at the start. But then when you put about what you did it for it was sweet. Just remember if someone loves you enough to stay with you then your good for them. Good luck in the contest. xoxo

      You can call me Nichole. Colie sounds weird coming from you
      This one isn't my favourite either. I couldn't think of a lot of things to put, so I feel like I kind of just threw it together =/
