Colder thoughts invade my smile
as I press on dying inside

The love I wasted on someone so
nice yet so cruel. Why did I have
to be the fool?

Why did his thoughtless tongue
capture my soul? Why did I honesty
think he could ever love me when
I can barely look at myself in the
eyes.

My grey blue eyes shed yet more tears
but yet none drip down my face. For
I feel nothing anymore. My love for
someone that I felt so quick stabs at me
like a thousand lies folded into a paper
napkin.

Fool me once shame on you.....Fool me twice shame on me.....
