I know what you did. You can hide behind all that silver and gold, But I can see the ugly and rotten black behind All that made up beauty. I know what you did. You promised to make me happy, That with you I’ll never be lonely. I really thought you were the one, you know? I mean, it wasn’t that hard. I had always been easily attracted To brilliant minds, And boy, were you brilliant. How you made love to my brain. But the brain is a deceitful friend. Had I looked into your heart, I would have seen that you didn’t have one. I would have seen that inside you was A black hole that sucked everything good. Inside you was a Pandora’s box that released All evil out into the world. A man with his words And his nonexistent heart. A harbinger of pain and suffering. His brilliant mind disguised his dark insides. You have cheated me once. And now you’ve come back To cheat on me again. Now you’ve come back To revive the heartbreak You once gave me, As if the first time wasn’t hard enough. But like the last time, I will fight back. I will take back what is rightfully mine; Until I lose my breath; Until the last tooth and nail fall out. That day will come. Eventually. Until I no longer have to shed tears of pain, But of joy.
