False Hope
where did i go wrong,
loving you
with a heart so strong.
i must have been stupid
willing you
to treat me like i wanted.
there's not a day went by
killing you
was a wish i wanted to try
what did i think i'd learn:
keeping you -
some sort of points i'd earn?
stilling the aching inner fear
sleeping with you
was the only thing i wished for
scars gone, now no longer afraid -
leaving without you
was the last best thing i ever did.
