Lovers Leave You Empty

I knew it was all a lie when you said you loved me

But fool that I am, I believed you

I held on to your words,

they became the very breath in my lungs, leaving me longing for your touch on those cold nights

I would hug my pillow so tight because it held the scent of you

Now it is filled with my tears, these tears you were only supposed to see as you promised me eternity together

I tell myself I’m over you yet I melt at the sight of you

Did you even care?

Did it ever occur to your nonexistent heart that mine would be shattered?

That I would sit in the dark and let our memories dance around me, knowing it could never be true

Were we even perfect for each other?

I guess we’ll never know
