I remember thinking how lucky I was
How lucky I was to know you
To have you by my side
To say that you are and will always be mine
I treasured that
There was a pride deep down inside
Because I knew
I believed
Nothing in this world could ever tear you and I apart
With all of my heart
I felt you would be there
Never stray
Never go away
I remember thinking how envious others were
Because I had such a good guy to call mine
Not theirs
Mine
And I can smile recollecting these memories
Or should I laugh
At the naivety instead?
In those false beliefs
Of a happily ever after with my "one true love"
At believing you would never
In your wildest dreams
Crush me to the core
Stomp on my heart so hard
Leaving it barely recognizable as a beating heart
Leave it as mush
Like roadkill
After a speeding car collides and runs it over
Slowly losing its strength and will to continue beating
As the blood slowly stops circulating
To the point of
Death
Yes, maybe that is it
How you pulled a wool over my eyes
At the sinful deeds you committed
The numerous women
You took to bed
While telling me
Your "one true love"
How much you truly loved
Loved me
I bark out a harsh laugh and shake my head
Wow, girl, wow
How stupid could you be
To not see the truth for what it was
For feeling his friends were yours
But they NEVER had your back
Those rose colored glasses were lifted from my eyes
Letting me see their true colors
Every one of them
Letting me know who I could truly trust
Which, to me, seems like none
Speed bump
Oh, wait, no
Another speeding car runs over my slowly giving up the will to live heart
As onlookers start to crowd around
Point and murmur
Is that how it was when I was unaware of what really was going on?
Here she comes, shhh don't say anything
Don't worry man, we got your back
They point and they whisper
They ponder
They begin to speculate
And I am just lying there
Continuously run over
The breath comes forced
The blood stops to flow
And there I am
Crushed
Broken
Never to be the same
