The hours turned into days

And my concern grew to rage,

The realization finally set in

You had already turned the page.

You told me days before you left

You would never give up what we had,

Not for anyone, but apparently

I’m the one that was had.

Why was it important to you

To tell me all those sweet things,

Why toy with my heart

You sure plucked all my strings.

Is your soul so broken?

Is your heart beyond repair?

Why pull me into your games

When you can’t even care.

Have you counted the bodies?

The ones that have paid the price,

The cost was too high for all of us

To love the princess made of ice.

I’ve never felt so used or so stupid

I fell so easily for you,

You always said you didn’t want to hurt me

But that’s all you ever do.

So here I stand, my heart destroyed

Alone for all to see,

Forsaken with many others

My true love has gone from me.

But you never were my true love

You were just a figment of my need,

And I’ve come to realize 

That Love is no longer a Rose,

Love is just a weed.
