Goodbye

I gave you breath, you choked me. I fixed you, you broke me. I let you in, you closed the door. You gave your love, but now no more. I wiped your tears, I took your pain. I made you strong, now I’m to blame. We talked all night, with nothing to say. I held you tight, you slipped away. I gave you warmth, but now you’re cold. I paid for love, now it’s been sold. I know the truth will never deceive me. But I prayed for lies when you said you’d leave me. Now as you walk, out of my life. A scar will be left, by love's bloodied knife.
