The Taker

By letitbe

Something about that night,
something in me died
and I saw just who you could be,
staring back at me.
A knife straight through my chest,
a slap in the head made me walk away.
This vicious cycle we put ourselves through,
its time that we just move on,
we are all a con claiming love and nothings wrong.
Trust has divided us and the lies have
multiplied the pain in my mind.

Change is just a thought of fear,
its what's needed and were lost.
You chose everything over us
and claimed it was all out of love.
And I gave everything up for nothing at all.

So fuck this,
fuck you and fuck everything we've been through,
it helped us grow up but didn't help us grow together.
I see you for who you are
and I changed so much that we can't fit together,
the pieces of the girl you knew are broken
and here lies me, a girl with more morals
than she knows how to comprehend.
You were never on my side
and I was always on yours
I can't keep giving when all you do is take
so goodbye to this and goodluck on your adventure.
I saw a future with you
but its lost in the flames of who we used to be.

    I must admit, I only started reading because I liked your screen name. And I chose this one because I figured it would ballance one of my own writes titled "Giver". All in all, I'm glad I happened upon your work. Thanks for sharing them... ^V^

    Happens when love is confused with lust, or experimentation and excitement lowers your guard. Boys will be boys, cheers!
