Hearts were broken

when words were left unspoken

you wore your pride like one would hold a token 

 maybe you should've been more outspoken.

Love was shattered

we were left bruised and battered

but none of that ever mattered

as long as you felt flattered.

You're a selfish boy

using women as toys

don't act so coy

what else can your greedy hands destroy?

I might be insane

with these thoughts in my brain

because you brought the emotional pain

that covered my heart like a pestiferous stain.

The ruined kaleidoscope of our damaged love won't go away

I hope that you regret that you didn't stay

and that your brain always fumbles with the words that you refused to say

and that you can no longer smile that smile that used to make my day.

I don't want you to feel shame

but I'm done playing your game

I chose the high road and you chose what you call fame

but we both know that you'll miss the way I said your name.

The point is that you set me free

thinking that I would be a catastrophe

but instead you were the one that came back and begged for me

but I'm letting things stay the way you thought they should be.

Maybe we both made a mistake

all you did was take and take

and I thought of you as icing on a cake

when all you will ever be is fake.
