You added a new sensation in my chestbut not the kind I wished for,the kind nobody wishes for.Betrayal.Anger.Hate.Sadness.
You made me blossom in a pool of hatred,fed me poison until I shut down,stabbed me until my eyes closed.
So it wasn't a surprise when you left me,and abandoned me for that perfect hair.I'll always remember your smile with her
The way you touch her makes me sick,Why can't that be me?Why did you kill me to be with her?
And now the only thing that stands between us,is a pool of blood from my heart,and your selfish way of tearing me apart.
The poet asked for: It's funny loving someone that doesn't love you, isn't it?
