Slow Burn

I hope the thought of me burns you down,

the way that you burned me

I hope that when you speak my name,

you taste the bitter taste of your deceit

When you miss me

I hope you ache,

I hope it cuts your soul so deep,

just as the truth slashed me

I hope you never cross my mind,

For all of time

I hope that I forget you,

Every single lie

I hope I never meet another you,

And that you fall short of finding somebody just like me

I hope my memory haunts every single dream,

And all your daydreams too

I hope you feel all the regret,

Of the soul crushing pain you caused

I hope you wonder where I am,

And never find me

I hope the truth finds you,

And shakes you to the core

Like the pain of your betrayal,

I hope it hurts you more
