Could Have

I was mistaken
I hate how you’ve taken
Every piece of me

In your divine words
And draped t-shirt
More fooling than an emcee

So plain and simple
A shining example
Of perfectly sweet

But I was fooled
By the set of the mood
I was weak

I hate how I’m feeling numb but upset
Being swindled by the words that you said
I need to curl in the covers and hide in my bed
Because I’m busted, messed up and wrecked

It was an illusion
Made with confusion
It was all a lie

Everything I felt
Everything left out
Changed my life

Did I give it away?
Was it my mistake?
Did you take what was mine?

You could have stopped
I could have fought
But I cried

I don’t hate who you are
I hate what was done
I’ve been
Numb and angry and upset
Torn like a bag to shreds
Filled with pieces regret

I’m not broken anymore
It was stolen too soon
But I can’t regret giving it to you
