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.
