Manipulating words
convinced her in believable lies.
The pain didn't matter
nor the look in her eyes.
Snatching hands
ripped it all away
He laughed at her,
"You really thought I'd stay?"
He took her life
and took her heart
with words like a knife,
but that's not the best part.
She tried to tell him
but he wouldn't listen.
He ended it all
watching her last tear glisten.
On the floor
he saw the note.
He saw it folded
he saw what she wrote,
"I know you don't love me
and I know it's best,
If I let you go,
and forget the rest.
I could never hurt you
the way you've hurt me.
I couldn't stab back,
why can't you see?
I know down deep
there's good in you.
But I've found it's like dreaming;
I only believe it when I'm asleep.
We'll never understand why
I love you so-
and that's the reason
I must let you go.
You could've told me
there was no forever,
I'm leaving you now,
because I know it's a never."
He dropped the letter
and dropped the knife.
He could've been gentle
and let her live her life.
Unnecessary pain
he inflicted on her.
He decided from it
there was nothing to gain.
He thought he was funny
and thought he was clever.
In the end, he was the one
with nothing but never.
