How Could You


How could you

how could you love me 

and then leave me

how could you tell me

we were forever

and then cut me off

like a sensless piece of string

hanging off of your beautiful body

how could you tell me our future kids names

and then the next day 

throw it away

like it was nothing

like the things you said meant nothing

how could you

throw me away like a piece of trash

leave me with nothing

leave me wondering what i did

to deserve such disregard

i would do anything

anything for another kiss

anything for you to tell me 

you loved me once again

i would do anything

because the way you left me

left me still dying for your touch

you left me wanting 

to drown 

in my sadness

you left me

on a string

how could you
