Poisoned Heart

As I walked away in disgrace 
Felt your cold chill on my face

So much time spent in your space
All of it a waste and misplaced 

The cracks in my heart grow and grow
Until pain has nowhere new to go

Your distrust the only truth you gave to me
Took my blind eyes far too long to see

My integrity questioned
Affection for you instantly lessened

Hard to notice what passed you by
When thoughts are spent on another guy

All the me I shared fourth 
You never truly cared for

An investment lost
My heart is what it cost
