Love Me Not



If this is the end, please let’s enjoy the moment
I have no tears to cry as it feels like I have no emotion
I kept myself from moving on because I thought I deserved you
I even blamed myself for the actions you’d do
All the years spent I just can’t get back
The pain outweighs the good, I thought the love would never change in fact
I loved you unconditionally whilst you loved me for your gain
I thought by you loving someone it’s reciprocated the same
I believed I overcame adversity within my blurred reality of love
In fact it was another mind game that you’d get pleasure of
You speak my name in vain to always make you the victim
You run off spreading rumors telling all your wicked assumptions
It took me so long to finally see the real you
Somehow you took my soul when you left now I need rescue
I know someday I will look back and understand this game
Currently I just feel like I am the only one to blame
So many days and nights spent with some form of pain
Leaves me wishing this nightmare would turn into a delightful dream
I’ll be that person that is a stranger on the city streets
You’ll realize someday who I was but it’s already to late for me
