A Love So Cruel
Ambushed
Attacked from all sides
Surrounded
With no place to hide
How would I know
That the one place I was desperate to be
Was the one place that’s slowly killing me.
You singled me out
Spotted your prey
Once you were finished
Just threw me away.
It was a shear fire plan
Nothing could go wrong
I’d be easy to kill
I’m not that strong.
I knew this would happen, this was no surprise
The fire was burning right in front of my eyes
Even though I was aware that I would get burned
In the end its still going to hurt.
My heart didn’t just sink
It fell
It shattered
It’s no longer existing
The pain alone is enough to kill me
But the empty space in my heart
The space you should be
Throbs making this even more painful.
Maybe it was my fault
It must have been something I did
Oh what I would give
Just to see you again.
You’ll never know how much you have
Until it is lost
Even if what you lost
Is something you never had.
It may seem silly to be upset over this
But if you look at me
You will see
I am not at all laughing.
It was nothing
To you it was just a scratch
But to me a deep gash
Lightheaded now from loss of blood.
You seem to be okay
I walk by but you don’t look my way
I smile to make you think I’m fine too
While my world runs askew
I’m trapped by this flame
And I know things won’t ever be the same.
The pressure builds weakening me
A human being can only take so much pressure
Until they break.
Propaganda and lies
Practically eat me alive
You sit and watch with a smile on your face
You never cared
I was just something else in your life you could control.
I trusted you
I gave you my heart
I gave you my love
But in return you betrayed me.
Let’s face it; you stabbed me in the back
Though this feeling is not new
The pain won’t soon subside
Because I’m still in love with you.
