Drawn to that mystery left me bruised,

my skin now engraved by your touch.

I can't help but feel used by

a love that hit harder than your punch.

Your fire still burns me

but I am at fault for it.

Our love was just a mirage,

So is it so bad that I like being your enemy?

Made me bleed because you liked the way red looked on me,

“loved” me while they were consuming your thoughts.

You could have pretended to care, at least for a while

Couldn’t take all the heat now that you were caught.

Keen to let you roam in my mind

in case you didn’t want to be left behind.

Afraid my heart will always linger towards yours.

Now I know how “forever and always” echoes in a broken promise...
