Confession of a dying lover

I wrote this one when my relationship was going bad and I was being wronged by my ex.

This happy person

that you think you see

no longer dwells

inside of me.

The smile on my face

is not really me at all.

It is just a phoney.

It is just a fraud.

You drained my happiness

long ago.

You cut open my heart

and watched it flow.

You thought you could change me

to who you wanted me to be

but you only brought

my heart to a cold,

hard freeze.

I am no longer alive

but dead inside

I pray for new life

to be revived.

You poison my soul

with every lie

but try as you may

the true me will not die.

But if one day you find

the true me is gone

it is not because he died.

He just freed himself,

and left you on your own.

And if on that day a single

tear falls from your eye

then maybe your cold heart too

was brought back to life.
