Worth it in the End

burning heart drawing

I would have stopped the world for you.

I would have made mountains move for you.

I would have lied for you.

I would have died for you.

How could I have been so naïve to think

That you would do the same for me?

I walked through hell for you,

And you watched without closing the gap.

You would even take steps back.

I wish I would have known

That I was only a pawn in your game.

You promised me a future-

A future full of lies.

I trusted you

As you put on your disguise.

I trusted you

As you picked up your knife.

As I was bleeding out,

You watched, coldhearted.

My final thought

As my soul departed…

Was this as worth it for you

As it was for me?
