You say you love me

Any love is dead

We know each other, we are supposed to love each other.

Why does my love for you feel like hate?

Hatred so deep, I could send a bullet just for you; for the fucked up love you showed.

You say you love me.

No love is there, but you say you love me.

I needed your love many years ago.

I guess you needed love so bad, you just took it.

You stole my heart and my soul.

Years go by and no word from you.

No words from you equals peace.

Like a thief in the night, you come back to say you love me.

No love is there, but you say you love me.

Words are just that, words.

Bullets speak truth, not words.

No one needs you now, so go back to being

dead, that’s how I always think of you.

Dead!

So don’t say you love me.

Speak the truth.

You say you love me.

No love is there, but you say you love me.

You say you are at peace in your life now.

Yet you raise you evil head to take peace from me once again.

You do not get the last word!

So don’t tell me you love me.

No love is there, but you say you love me.

As I cry yet another tear.
