STORY TIME - Volume 7.1

You said I never loved you
Yet I was killing myself for you
To give to you the one thing that you couldn't
wouldn't ever have
Perfection.
You said you couldn't trust me
But had I ever done anything
To make you think that
In all honesty, deep inside?
No. I never did.
And that was the point wasn't it.
I never, but you did.
You took and I let you.
For I wanted your love
Was so starved for it
Needed your strength
And in return for my sweat & tears
I faded away.
Slowly burned out.
Ceased to be, yet was what you made me.
An empty shell waiting to be
Filled, though already full of longing.
