Love Poem: Love Dies

Love Dies

I feel like the floor has dropped beneath me
I try to go on, but my eyes can’t see
Tears lie beneath the surface, threatening to spill
It’s when I’m wounded that you go in for the kill
Every lie you spread, every little remark
Is just like another stab in my heart

It’s not enough for you to see me die a little on the inside
You have to see me broken down and tossed aside
You go around wondering why nobody likes you
But is it really such a mystery? They all see the real you
They all know that if they anger you, you’ll go behind their backs
You’ll spread rumors about them, and never state the facts

All the lying and gossiping and backstabbing
You don’t know how it feels, you’re not understanding
You act like I’m a slave you can command
When I try to fight back, I get a reprimand
I used to be fooled by you, I thought you were nice
But your heart is as cold as a sculpture made of ice

I’m ashamed to say that I once loved you, I felt so sure
But I couldn’t see past the man I thought you were
When you loose love, only half of you remains alive
I thought it was a love that could last forever, a love that could thrive
I look into your eyes now, and all I see are lies
But I guess that’s what happens when love dies
