When Forever Means Never

Face to face. 
I've been staring at you long enough. 
I'll be the first to take the blame. 
I'll take the blame for the choices you have made. 
I've been told i never deserved you in the first place. 
Now it all seems to make sense. 
I'll always hold onto the words that you told me. 
You told me that i belonged to you. 
You told me you'd stand by my side no matter what we had to go trough. 
Lies. 
Forever's meaning has obviously changed. 
Cuz now you are walking out the same door you walked in. 
How do i begin my life again? 
How do i go on without you? 
You make it so easy. 
It seems so effortless. 
You're beautiful, wearing your red dress. 
I degress. 
You've left an open wound in my chest. 
An empty void. 
Forever's meaning has obviously changed. 
I'll never forget the memories. 
I'll remember how your i love yous were always better than anyone else's. 
But now i watch you walk out the door that you came through. 
Once again left with nothing but a bitter taste in my mouth. 
Go live your life. 
You said that i'd be better off without you. 
Better off alone. 
You said you would never lie to me. 
How i believed your gesture of sincerity. 
A mistake. 
Everything will be fine. 
I'll just take the blame. 
Oh how the meaning of forever has changed. 
The door has closed as you make your exit. 
I don't deserve this but i'll take it. 
Forever means never. 
I'll take the blame for all of your mistakes. 
I won't break. 
I won't suffer. 
I'll just let go and break free of the hold you always had on me.
 Good-bye.

sinfully painful it brings tears to my eyes, to know that like me you have wanted to die, crushed was your heart by another girl, crushed was my heart by both boys and girls. sinfully painful it brings blood to my heart, to know that now you dont know how to restart, sinfully painful it brings me to my knees, for now in my mind, your pain i can see, your pain i can taste upon my sweet lips, feel it in my heart, and know, i too have hurt like this...xo raiin
