Your Lies, My Lies, Our Lies

You promised you'd protect me.
That you'd never let anything hurt me.
Then you turned around and left me.
I was so alone.

Then later on you found me again.
You said you wanted to start over again.
I believed you, but then you left me again.
And again, I was alone.

Three years passed and I found you.
Though you hurt me, I still loved you.
Despite what you did, I wanted to stay with you.
But I turned my back, and walked away.

I walked away, then you ran after me.
You apologized, and wished to be with me.
That you'd made a mistake, but now you'd never leave me.
But I kept walking, and turned you away.

I convinced myself I didn't need you.
That I didn't want to be with you.
And that I no longer loved you.
But it was all a lie.

Thereafter, I couldn't stop crying.
Never again would you see me smiling.
Slowly, painfully, my heart was dying.
Next thing I knew, I stopped trying...

Trying... to live...
