Why?

Forwards and Backwards

Why?

Why would you hurt me?

Knowing that I already I had cracks and one more thing could shatter me,

Was I easy?

You made love look easy, when really it was all about power.

The burn I thought was passion turned out to be the red flags on fire around me.

Was it easy?

I would’ve given up the world if it meant I could see your smile,

Feeling your touch on my skin always made the world not exist.

I wanted you more than my body wanted air.

You made me alive and I never wanted to imagine a world without us together.

What happened?
