The One

You're the one
who told me to pray.
The one who watched my heart break
day after day.
You're the one
who watched me
cry my painful tears
as he told me I was
unwantable.
The one who
eased my fears
and told me it was nothing but trouble.


 


You're the one I told


when i didn't know what to do.


The one i trusted with everything,


how could this be you?


 


Who have you become?


How can you think this is ok?


The fact that you are killing me


doesn't even get in your way.


 


All you can see is what you want.
What you've never had.
You don't understand
what it does to me
or how it can hurt so bad.

How can you do this to me?
You who said you were my friend?
You're nothing more than a poisonous snake.
With extra venom to lend.

How can you sit with a smile on your face
while i die inside?
Do you really not care, or
have you become that blind?

You know nothing of love
or hurt, or pain, or loss.
Love is what's keeping me sane,
no matter what the cost.

Love is pain,
it is well-known
but love the same is true.
Even after what you've done I'd
still take a bullet for you.

Love is strange, it doesn't change though
it evolves overtime.
What was then and what is now is treading
a paper-thin line.

He loved me then
he loves me now
though pain may cloud his view.
Though he may say
it's me he hates,
one day it will be you.
