The Traitor
I tried so hard to keep everything together
To be myself and much more for you
But what did I get in return, a broken heart and artificial memories
While you walked away with relief washing over you
I remained standing in awe on the verge of tears
As I stared out after the one that I had just lost
I began to question myself
Why did you have to choose me?
What made me your target?
Others see me as I am
As for you, you never took the time
All I wanted was to feel an emotion
One that my parents cannot give me
I thought I had created a shell
Where no one could penetrate or knock me down
You proved to me that no thing exists
You showed me that once again I am the loner
The one who is always standing on the sidelines
Waiting to catch one's eye
In you I saw the type of person
Who could love me or break my heart
I am stubborn to have taken such a risk
My consequences of everything showed that
No matter how hard I tried
Nothing seemed to matter
I fell deeply and no result came
In the end it had only wasted breath and time
Taking the time to write you letters
And watching your reply bring a smile to my face
Not once did I think that you would decide
To deface my heart with a couple of senseless words
How can I try to hold on
if you are encouraging me to fall
Why did I believe that you would be any different
I know the answer to that one though
I believed because I fell for three hypocritical words
They can be heard in the plots of love stories
The three demeaning words that could create and impact on anyone
I love you
