Bittersweet Love

I never expected this to happen
Never wished for love in my bedtime prayers
But love came to find me
I’ll now hide from it in fear

You told me that you loved me
I ate up every word
I savored every moment
Every sweet and sour demand

Although you may have cared a little
It was never nearly enough
For you it was only about control
I was on a leash too short to breath

But I was true to every word
I could have loved you forever
But you pushed me out into the cold
Alone I’ll heal the scars you weathered

One day I’ll realize that our parting is for the better
But that may be my dying day
‘Cause I hate myself for love you
You were never good for me

You’ve made me hate myself
You’ve crushed all of my dreams
I would have done anything for you
But you said I would never be good enough
