toxische liebe

I gave you everything I had, my heart, my soul, Wanted to see you flourish, in the sunshine's role. My life was yours, but you didn't see, Took my love, but my pain remained unfree. You stole my dreams like they were yours to take, My work, my time, seemed to be at stake. The love I gave was never enough for you, But now you stand alone, realizing what you rue. Now you're here, with a broken heart and empty stare, Realizing what you lost, that I'm the love of your life, that's fair. You regret what you've done, it's clear, But I need time to heal, to be strong again, that's my mere. I gave you wings to fly high and wide, But you let me fall, abandoned, in the darkness to reside. Your eyes were on you, but not on me, But now you realize the worth you didn't see. You see now what you lost, what you failed to prize, The love I gave was all I had, not a mere guise. You ask for forgiveness, but it's not easy, For the pain you caused me is more than queasy. Now you're here, with a broken heart and empty stare, Realizing what you lost, that I'm the love of your life, that's fair. You regret what you've done, it's clear, But I need time to heal, to be strong again, that's my mere.
