Dearest heartbreaker of mine
Have you felt no remorse?
When I looked into your eyes
Did you not see my tears?

You came into my life
Uninvited yet welcome
When you held those flowers
And told me they were for me

You were a charmer and I was charmed
You were the prince of a kingdom afar
I couldn't see what lay beneath
A Casanova in a good man's guise

First it was coffee, then it was my number
What followed them was a dream
Till I asked with bated breath, "what next?"
And you knelt down, "Your hand in marriage"

You played god in a world that's not yours
Tricked the fools into believing you
When the brave men stepped up to cut your ploys
You had me weild the sword and fend them off

I was your bravest knight, your very own warrior
So lost in your pretence, so ignorant
The spies I hired warned me of you
Yet I turned my back on them and spat on their loyalty

Beyond my blindness lay the truth
I saw it myself but shut my eyes
You helped me up whenever I fell
I felt you stab me yet I felt it not

I was the player, a puppet of your game
Down to the last life, yet you acted oblivious
For every step I took, you changed the rules
What was today would never be tomorrow

I tried so hard, maybe too hard
Even when we were falling apart
I tried to hold us together
Why did you give up?

It was too late
You had won and I had lost
You shattered me beyond repair
Built youself a castle from the broken pieces of my heart

Now I know, I was naive
Now I see, I was deceived
Now I hear, I was stupid
Now I taste nothing but the salt from my eyes

Are you glad we are over?
Another feather in that embellished cap of yours
Did you find another muse?
I wonder if she believes your sweet lies too

Maybe in the future, I'll learn to be wise
In the company of myself, I thrive and smile
Perhaps you were a lesson, one I learnt too late
Now that you've moved on in live, I might start to live mine

-Sreya
