In a heap of agony,

You would watch me die,

Because I believed your lies.

I cared so much.

You cared so little.

Now I’m drowning in a puddle

Of sorrow and betrayal.

You told me we would be forever.

But for you,

It actually meant never.

I’m lying in a pool of despair,

Because you never did care.

For you, I would have left the world behind.

Yet your heart was far from mine.

This love has been a tragedy

Of wasted tears and travesties.

I would not dare to love again-

To be fooled twice

Would be a sin.
