My supposed charm distorted your perception,
Everything you witnessed was her,
Her deceitful lies and cheating, as she pursued her own path,
Not even remotely aligned with yours.
You witnessed it and promptly released
All your blue thoughts from their wounded origin
Because you were aware of the pain it caused
Then you roamed this world with no direction.
Before you met me,
You had already learned to suffer in your head
And then, things changed when this comparison with her began.
You learned how to avoid the pain, just as she did,
Protecting yourself from being hurt again
You harmed me deeply
Before anything could even begin.
You aimed this poisoned arrow directly at my heart,
There was no trace of love, only mercilessness,
Surprisingly, it was merely pity that you felt for me
And we rode on it for such a long time,
Continuously hurting each other, until
I finally severed the last thread
You had pulled it too tightly,
Leaving no opportunity to mend it.
