Was it worth it?


Was it worth it to look at me..

and then walk away.

Was it worth the smile, 

the enegry you put into charming me. 

 

You taught me to care,

to believe in myself. 

 

But you lied. 

You only told me what I wanted to hear.

 

I gave into you,

gave you my innocents. 

 

Then you changed,

you stopped caring,

stopped believing. 

 

In me,

in you,

in us.

 

Is that not contridicturary?

The fact that I believed in something more

something real.

An "us"

 

You took my innocents.

But now your gone.

So I must ask 

Was it worth it?

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” - Mad Hatter
