Trying to make sense of it all

I've been struggling with all the remembering; Because I struggle to forget. You say you didn't do anything; I'm not sure I agree with that. There was writing on the wall, Until you punched through them all. I didn't read those words, Because I listened to you first. I trusted in your love; I trusted you'd be kind. I trusted in all above, That love is what I'd find. I found tears, And I found years and years afraid. Then I found the strength to want more, And to not believe in your masquerade. You can say you love me, But I know a simple truth. You never would have hurt me, If you loved me like I loved you.
