I Loved You

I was raped by the innocence in your eyes My heart poisoned by your pretty words My friends abhorred my addiction Calling it something of an affliction But I loved you I love you The whispering birds filled the tree outside our window They chirped from sun up to sundown Nipping at the fruits of our passion There was a wicked truth to those words But I loved you I love you No matter how sinister things looked at sundown The sun always rose with you in my arms Oh, by the gods, how you would look in my eyes And tell me I was the only one for you And I loved you I love you And then one day you just disappeared My deepest fears were finally realized The birds had flown the coup And I was left alone with one looping thought I loved you I love you
