• I said three words and all I heard was an echo
    A hollow sound that escaped your lips
    Mimicking the syllables I just expressed
    Amazing how the same words could mean so much less
    And just at that moment the fog about my lovestricken heart
    Cracked, split, and shattered into millions apart
    For I saw right then that you were already dead to me
    No longer were your eyes full of the passion I once held dear
    Your touch was cold and heartless, as if stricken with fear
    Of what?
    Losing me?
    No. But losing what you could get from me.
    I used to thrive off of your energy unbound
    But your voice no longer has that same gentle sound
    And your heart…
    It’s full of false affections and love naughts
    Mocking me, stifling me, taking all I was willing to give
    For nothing in return
    And as this truth burns
    Deep within the twisted confines
    Those wickedly sensible recesses of my mind
    I realize those words are no longer meant for you
    Because you are no longer the person that I once knew.
