What You Did

I can still feel your green eyes piercing my body

Your wandering hands reaching out for mine

I remember looking at you was like looking at the sun

For once everything was bright

Then you decided you preferred the dark

I remember my dad making me promise to never let anyone treat me anything less than a queen

And I also remember the moment I realized I had failed him 

I can still see myself in my room looking into nothing, feeling empty

You did this, but your coward self will never accept it

You were supposed to hold me

You were supposed to make me smile 

You were supposed to take care of me

You were supposed to not break my heart 

But most importantly you were supposed to love me

I always did

And I guess I loved you a little too much

I remember the day we broke up

And I remember you telling me a few days later how you wanted me back

“I need you with me”

“I can’t be without you”

And your favorite one 

“I’ve changed because I love you”

But that isn’t love

When you love someone you want to protect them no matter what

When you love someone you make sure you give them the moon and stars

When you love someone you don’t lie or keep secrets from them

When you love someone you keep them

When you love someone you don’t hurt them

But you hurt me

And that isn’t love

I wonder how is it that you sleep at night knowing you did me so wrong

How can you not feel guilty after playing with my heart?

You’ll probably never tell me the truth

But I’ll always thank you for teaching me right from wrong

Because now I know that what you gave me isn’t love
