When you Loved me


Did you love me?

I'm not sure you did.

You claimed I was your one and only.

But, I don't wear lily prefume.

You said you would never hurt me.

But, I always had bruises.

You said you would never make me cry.

But, that night I was terrified.

Did you love me?

Or did you own me?

Cause Lover there's a difference.
