Always & Forever


 


I know you still care

Which makes this unfair

But you left me shattered and broken

now my words must be spoken


Before this all started

My love was uncharted

But you knew the way in

So I let you win


The prize was my heart

And you tore it apart

Not only once, but twice

I gladly rolled the dice

Gambling for your affection

With my every possession


I was yours, and I thought you were mine

But unknowingly I ran out of time

As my happiest days came to an end

reality began to twist and bend


You told me you were sad

Which I’ll admit made me mad

I gave you my all

But you still let me fall

 

I love you and that’s why I let you go

Even as my entire body screamed no

I put your happiness above mine

Hoping I'd heal over time

But I am still broken

So now I give you this token


Always & Forever

That’s what you told me

What you meant was never

And that’s plain to see


That simple phrase is such a beautiful lie

A delicious poison that makes you cry

So now I'm breathing out a quiet sigh

Asking the little question, Why?

When I told you I love you, you said “Goodbye”
