#TheUnrequitedLove

I took the bullets, saved you from the blame
You rewarded me by calling this love, a game
I've never expected anything more than your kindness
Never knew you were toxic, prey to blindness
Caught in the crossfire and I was well played
Looking at the fresh wounds, tears cascade
" A lapsed obsession " my true love has become
I did everything to save you my darling, you're most welcome.
Like a broken hearted lover I stare at the sky
sipping wine, sad music, watching the birds fly
Why does my heart still holds onto this unrequited love
chained by your selfishness, still looking above.
Ravishing passion and endless love I had for you
But what you had for me was something unholy and untrue
Burning all my songs about you, while every word is etched in my heart
Guess we're both done with this with no reason to restart
I've always wanted to have a story with happy ending
but magic won't happen cause this was all pretending.
You changed a part of me and I still wonder what
You still haunt me, I try to heal but I cannot
I don't care if my feelings for you were a joke
But remember that it was my heart that you broke
Thanks to you, no fire can burn me down
Nothing can scare me, no darkness, no clown.
Yet it has blessed me with dark fond memories
blessing my heart with songs and melodies
This unrequited love has changed me into someone new
A girl who stares into empty spaces and feels blue
