Thin Line

Still stuck in this pit you dug for me
Trapped with the memories, good and bad
Walking the tightrope of love and hate
Why did you go and mess up what we had?
You dug this hole with your greedy hands
You pushed me in and then walked away
So deep and dark, so abandoned
I thought you were such a great man
I really hoped we would last forever
But you style my heart and everything
Then you begged me to always be your lover
But to me you are now a stranger
Your many betrayals still sting and burn
The hate is so hot in my heart
But the missing makes me yearn
You changed so quickly, I don't know which one you really are
Who did I fall for? A liar, a cheat, a thief
It really is a thin line between live and hate
I cross over it several times a day

Thank you! This was a few years ago but I do still wish he had stayed the guy I dated instead of the one I married. I just think about it less so I'm getting there:)
