Broken Love

I lie here, fed up with your every thought. I grab your tear, and laugh as we fought. I can see the fear, burning inside your eyes. My hatred so clear, as I laugh at your cries. I take my stand, and blow you away. I drop your hand, for I leave this day. Do you feel, my hearts calamity? My love you steal, is for all to see. If you were dead, I wouldn't care. You screwed with my head, that's hardly fair. If you were alive, I would take my leave. I would take this dive, for I no longer believe. Roses are red, violets blue. Why aren't you dead, for I hate you. This is the final time, has such clarity. As I blow out the light, you see my grin. I'll say goodnight, for I leave you again. Take this flood, for I'll let you drown. Take this blood, for I'll push you down. Draw your last breath, as you asphyxiate. I'll watch your death, for you're the one I hate. I laugh at you, as you cry. Now we're through, I watch you die. I walk alone, with this broken heart. Sorrow has shown, how it was ripped apart. You are done, for you meet my fist. You're not the one, for you slit my wrist. Tilt you teary eyes, to watch this murderous filigree. I'll forever laugh at your cries, through animosity. Let us amend, my broken love. Let it end, for I'm sent above. You will just go and die, as I am left to cry.
