Oh, love,
You make the smartest people blind,
You make them warm and fuzzy,
Mushy and gushy,
...

When I try to forget the past it comes too easy,
I hold your hand, I kiss your face, but do you feel the pain that took my place?
Are you seeing the tears in my eyes?
Are you seeing past my lies.
...

Is it bad I have forgiven? Through all you put me through.
I forgave, right away. Was this a mistake.
No, never. I couldn't believe it if I tried.
So many lies faded to seek truth in each of your baby blue eyes.
...

Second best, sometimes third.
You bring me down to the bottom of my confidence with each word.
You kick me when I'm down, if I'm out.
The bruises in my heart, the deepest fear, doubt.
...

I'll never forget his hands.
Through life I've regretted nothing.
Until now
I knew when I met you you were trouble
...

Your drunken mind.
Your breath so rank.
Your thoughts are slow.
Your actions, fast.
...

So insane I try not to cry,
So hurt but I'm done asking why.
Life isn't easy for anyone so I try not to pity myself,
Especially when all I'm looking for is help.
...

So tormented I forget to show.
What little heart I had left to grow.
Upon your trees of never green.
Between your words that sounds so mean.
...
