True Love Doesn't Last

by paulina.♥   Mar 30, 2005


You always seemed to lie.
You told me that I would never have to cry.
You used to love me so much.
You had the golden touch.

You would look into my eyes,
And everyone would exchange a million happy sighs.
That one night I told you that I wanted to die.
You weren’t there, you didn’t tell me not to cry.

When I started to write beautiful poems to express myself,
You worried about nothing but yourself.
When it finally got to the point that you didn’t care anymore,
You told me that it was over.

And ever since then:
A million tears have left my eyes.
Nothing depressing was ever a surprise.
The pills when in and out of my mouth
As I sipped vodka and pointed to the South.

People thought that I was crazy.
At least I wasn’t lazy.
I worked my butt off trying to get where I wanted to go.
And ever since then:

A million tears have left my eyes.
Nothing depressing was ever a surprise.
The pills went in and out of my mouth,
As I sipped vodka and pointed to the South.

When I finally made it there, I saw you.
The wind gently blew…
And you pointed a gun up to my face.
It was a definite disgrace.

You shot me.
Now, I finally felt free.
Something ran down my cheek: a tear.
And once again, I felt no fear.
