I'D Never Be Home

Desperately I try and ignore it - but it causes so much dread
The flashbacks and memories of the lies crammed in my head
I don't understand why anyone would lie about love so long
Effectively breaking and shattering our every single bond
If you had intent from the beginning to crash all my emotions
Then why'd you speak of marriage and a family with fake devotion?
The evil and strategized game you chose early on to play with me 
Occurred 'cause you refused to hear anything I told you - no belief
From day one you made the mistake thinking I was like the bad eggs
For 7.5 years blood, sweat, and tears happened day after day
Over and over you chose flawlessly to betray me and break my trust
You've wrecked 7.5 years so effortlessly for a small tiny taste of lust
There seems like there's nothing left of us - can't you see?
Because of false self-esteem and insecurities - you chose to punish me
Since the very first day, I've never seen us on the same page
Your words they cut and burn - they poison and they ricochet
You led me on many years making me think we'd be together - but we're alone
Yet you could've told me earlier that no matter what - I'd never be your home

Freedom comes in many forms, and if betrayal is this one, then so it must be. Onwards and upwards.
