Oh my love...
Together...
We've been through so much...
For a time...
You were so good to me...
You kept a smile on my face...
And in my heart...
You protected me from my reality...
A reality I couldn't bear alone...
You strengthened me...
I felt indestructible.
Together...
I thought we could accomplish anything -
That my dreams...
Were just at my fingertips.
Oh my love...
You were so pure...
So seemingly good...
With you...
My imperfections faded...
My self-doubts vanished...
I was everything...
Had everything...
God, I loved you so..
You took me to the heights of ecstasy...
Deceptively
Luring me into your webs of lies -
And what lies at the end of your works..
So much of what we've been through,
You put me through!
The only times were good
Were when you blinded me
To the reality I didn't want to see!
A reality I couldn't escape
Only face.
With you...
I never truly smiled...
I frowned, upside down,
Still filled with pain and horror...
You only protected me from the truth
And strengthened my delusions...
As you weakened
Every other aspect of my being,
Setting me up for disaster and
Complete destruction
You poisoned me with delusions of grandeur;
I believed you would make all my dreams come true;
When in truth,
You single handedly
Destroyed my every dream!
Now...
My imperfections have increased;
My self-doubts have grown...
Because the time I spent with you
Stole the time I had to reach my true potential.
Because of you...
I have nothing...
Am nothing...
You've burned my bridges...
Destroyed my home...
And left me homeless and destitute...
Hanging onto life by a thread
Weaved into the noose
You've hung around my neck.
How could I ever love you?
How could I ever fall for you
After you've done to so many?
Oh my love...
How can you be so wretched and wicked...?
You disguise yourself as a good sensation,
As you disembowel without hesitation.
Oh my love...
This charade is over...
I've allowed you to cause enough
Disaster and destruction in my life...
I will never again be trapped
By your intoxicating ways,
Wishing to be free of you...
Falsely saying never again...
Never again...
For again to come
The very next day...
This dysfunctional love affair
Is over...
I will never...
Ever...
Pick you up again...
