Breathless

You told me that i was different
something great
something just plain amazing

I loved the way you made me feel
Strong
Courageous
Beautiful

In every embrace,
I fell for those lies
Your mesmerizing words
I only saw you and me

Until the day you told me goodbye
Tell me why
you left me alone
when i was shattered to pieces

Why you never loved me
Why you deceived me with your words
The words I used to think were loving
are now staring at me
with the truth so obvious within them

Curled up on my bed,
blood swirled on my arms
telling me everything is okay
But it's not

I run towards the lake
and jump in
Closing my eyes
I stopped breathing

Life slipping slowly from my fingertips
With my last drop of energy
I let go
Floating in the darkness
that surrounds me
