The Ordeal of Loving You

Like a match that craves the heat from flames

You took my blood pumping organ

As though it was connected to your own veins

The warm words you whispered to my soul

Could never quite grow old

Only now as I'm here, alone

Do I realize that you took all the things I loved for your own

I was not a fragile creature until I gave my love to you

And now all I have left, is memories and foolish thoughts too

I was wild and crazy for falling so fast

Naive for believing that love could last

You left me with blisters and bruises and cuts

As if losing your love wasn't enough

You stole my character, and charm, and humor

You took my childish stories and turned them into rumors

You copied the words from my mouth

You were selfish for wanting what wasn't yours

But ironically I'm the one, in a heap on the floor

Why am I made to feel this way?

When you were greedy, refusing to take the blame

So I'll apologize for things I didn't do

But I won't apologize for loving you.
