Tears Cried

It’s been weeks now since I’ve seen you,
And every time I ask you why,
Things didn’t work out between us,
All you do is make me cry.

You told me you were falling for me,
But never showed me your love was real,
You ignored me when I needed you,
Without caring how it made me feel.

In time you did apologise,
And wanted me once more,
But you burnt my heart so deeply,
I can't love as I did before.

Long ago I fell in love,
You gave your heart and I gave mine,
I shouldn’t have taken such a risk,
For one can never turn back time.

Not long ago you blamed yourself,
I forgave you and kept holding on,
But tonight you tried to make me feel,
That I had done you wrong.

You claim I never loved you,
The way that you loved me,
That I only took advantage,
Of your vulnerability.

That you could think my love was selfish,
Shows you don’t know me at all,
I trusted you with my open heart,
While you built up a wall.

The tears that you have caused me,
Proves what we had was built on lies,
And no matter how it hurts me,
It is time to say goodbye.
