I Really Lived
12:09 AM
I remember in the beginning
When it was new.
I would give you some of me
For some of you.
There was too much chaos
Not enough splendor.
I believed you were real,
You’re a pretender.
Did you think I would not notice?
The lies you gave me to drink?
I tasted them in your kiss,
More than you would think.
I have your betrayal pumping
In my vein.
My mind wraps around it,
Welcomes the pain.
Your kiss the bitter flavor
Of a loved that died.
Your double life, the lies,
Cover what you hide.
The irony of love,
And it's a certain fate.
There was once so much love,
Now, I only hate.
The first time ever,
You filled my soul.
All that remains is a
Big black hole.
For ten years I rose,
Above from below.
It was your love that
Brought the warm glow.
Betrayal, deceit and a
Million little lies.
I can't believe it never
Showed in your eyes.
I'm fried, I have nothing
Left to give.
Time spent with you,
The only time I really lived.
