I shall be the same
As he shall be
The relationship unchanged—
Unwavered by no curiosity.

The love will die
And cease to live
And tears of pain shall fall
As “I loved you” comes from my lips.

My heart will break
And the pieces will fall.
It shall go unfixed—
Why didn’t I sacrifice it all?

Why did I watch as he moved on?
Why did I let my love wither away
Why did I do nothing?
Why did I think of nothing to say?

Why did I cry these tears alone?
Why didn’t I let my love show?
Why didn’t I do something more?
Why didn’t I let him know?

Why? Because I protected my heart.
I protected my feelings.
I did not dare sacrifice it all.
And I was hard to all reasoning.

I tried and tired
But in the end, it didn’t matter.
I was torn and broken
And what I tried so hard to protect was shattered.

I tried to pick up the pieces
But the wind had scattered them.
Pieces I needed were gone.
Why oh why did I so deeply love him?

I simply feel in love with him
I loved with all my heart.
But I knew he’d take advantage
He tore me apart.

I thought I’d be the same
As he would be.
But now I see that
This love has deeply changed me.
