You told me you wouldn’t hurt me

You lied about that

By breaking my heart

You told me loved me

Did you lie about that too?

Do you not care this much?

To just watch me be miserable

With three little words

You broke down my defenses

You knocked down my perfectly good life

You shattered my heart

And not for the first time

Why am I so stupid?

To let you do this to me

So often

Why are you so heartless?

As to shrug off my pain

Pretend it doesn’t exist

How can you be like this?

When you claimed to love me

How can you say those three little words?

When you apparently don’t even mean them

How can you break my heart?

So easily, so swiftly, so often?

And why do I keep letting you?

How can I hate you so much?

Yet still love you?

How?
