I lie here in this dark room
The warmth of the bed staying longer than he did
He walked away before I could even say
How much he meant, how much he didn’t
The night at the carnival was beautiful
Lights hiding the darkness that we were
The roller coaster went up
But all we did was fall down
I learnt of his deeds or the lack of them
He questioned my every move
Even when it was all for him
Why didn’t he see?
That he was all for me
But when it came to who I was to him,
The silence filled the void he left behind
I loved his words, his smile, the way he felt like paradise
He hated my guts, my will, the way I earned more than him
One day it all changed, or I guess it was before then
My belief and innocence kept us strong
But they were the very things that were so wrong
He was toxic, I was bliss, he was a drug while I was his medicine
He told me what I was since day one
I twisted his words, till I was done
With his actions, with his ego
I tried to hold on, till I couldn’t anymore
I now get up and look next to me
To see a body filled with life as much as a stone
The light had left, a soul had gone
To a place mentioned in not many songs
They enter to take him away,
They look at me feeling sorry
They think it was the overdose that killed him
But I know it was the under dose, the emptiness that really did
I walk out, not knowing where to go
I still believe there is something better out there
Believe there is something good
Even with all I have gone through
I still believe in love

In spite of the negative moments you showed that we should never shut ourselves off from love because of one bad experience. π
