I Love You, I Mean, Whatever

When I gave you my joy filled heart,
It was still intact.
A thousand pieces of hate and pain,
Are what you gave me back.

You lied to me, ignored my calls,
You'd gone to God knows where.
Then come back with "I Love you",
I'd pretend I didn't care.

You'd sweet talk me and win my smile,
One touch is all it takes,
I'd forget about the sorrows,
And all of your mistakes.

Then once again you'd be lost to me,
No reason, no tears, no kiss.
Your so blissfully ignorant,
Because ignorance is bliss.

Again I would forgive you,
But this time could not forget.
Although happy still to have you,
I'd rue the day we met.

I'd dry my tears with a veil of lies,
Hide hate behind my fear.
But all is well, it has to be,
Because you were still here.

Then you decided it was no more,
You didn't like what you had found.
But like a favored childhood toy,
You decided to keep me around.

Now I've got the time and space,
To look into the past,
I've seen some things, which at the time,
I seem to have looked past.

I hate how you treated me,
You told me we'd be forever.
You lied, so now please leave me to be,
I love you. I mean, whatever...
