You told me that you loved me
You told me you care for me
My heart believed it and made a place for those words
You told me all else doesn’t matter
Because you’re here for me
You told me you rather want us to die together
We were both inseparable
Why do you choose to do this?
Why do you pour a big bucket of guilt over my head?
‘I love you, I really do’ you said but now it is just ‘it’s your fault’
‘I hate you I wish I’d never met you’
Your words shot me down
It feels my world is over…
‘Don’t leave me!’ My heart screamed
I love you…
