They say roses are red
and violets are blue,
they only see gifts
yet not how much i bled for you.

Our times together
i wonder what they meant,
you left it all for granted
those times that we spent.

Each time with you
felt like walking into the unknown,
If only i knew that loving you
would cost me my soul.

Every time you were troubled
I'd rush to your side with haste,
though it seems now
that all my efforts went to waste.

I wouldve walked through the fire with you
even if it hurts,
but you just up and left
leaving only me to burn.

If you loved me
your heart i would cherish and hold,
yet when i gave you mine
you just left it in the cold.

When i was with you
my heart composed songs of romance,
now that you left
no sound is heard only silence.

shot with love
I fell so hard for you,
yet i feel like cupid missed
when he shot you.
