I held it all in my hands; as it slipped away Forged by the fires of a burning end; a woeful mistake It felt right to my touch A sudden grasp upon a phantom of feelings; the ghost of deception Deceived by attraction and attention Shaped by my desires; becoming what I needed most Your truth untold; veiled under the vanity of connection I saw the world through you; a place I wanted us to be The emptiness that is you; lost in those thoughts You never wanted what I offered; something to fill the void The closer I tried to be; the further the gap became My hand gripped tighter around it; fearful of loss Hopeful for a future that would never be The cold empty hollow where our love should have been A glass shattering under the pressure Carving away my innocence; slicing away the curtain of falsehood Every shattered piece of you a reminder of the cuts you deliver unto me My blood glistening upon each shard; highlighting your betrayal I see the truth of you now; spread out before me Yet, why am I the one who feels so broken? The bare space that you once filled is where I held my desires I gave to you my insecurities and my fantasies; filled in the shallows It was there I kept myself; needing you to hold me together But you never wanted what I could give; you took until there was nothing left You used what I gave to cut me down; an imposter wearing a mask of my love Using tragedy to explain away your own awful actions The mind knows to let you go; but hands not so sure A love borne of a woeful mistake Haunted by the specter of deception; and of hope I wanted this to be something else But was left with only a bit of broken glass and confusion
