The Hate I Cannot Seem To Hold

by Diemmy   Nov 6, 2007


I gave you everything I was
Everything I am
Anything you asked
Your happiness was mine
Your sadness, your grief
Also mine
And through all this time
I've stayed strong for you
Retreated from the game
Since I knew you were all that mattered
Gave you not one but two chances
And here you come asking for three
Let me ask you something...
Why did you do it?
Did you even remember what you said?
A broken promise means a lot
It's like something else broke too
I shouldn't do this to myself
But I don't want to pick up the pieces alone
I want to hate
And just forget about all we planned
Had it all in my head
But couldn't go through with it
Love is such a crazy thing
It's never really what it seems
I'm sure you know those words
All too well I bet
Even through all the fallen tears
The smeared eyeliner
Pain that puts a hundred stabs to shame
I still gave in
I still held onto that hope
That glimmer of light in the distance
Because I don't want it to end
Now or ever
It's been so much for so long
That I can't find meaning without you
Who will I get dressed up for?
Who will I find lying next to me when I wake up?
Who will I argue over silly stuff with?
Who will I go to when I need a shoulder to lean on...
I don't want to run to you
Just to eventually run from you
I'm done with running
I want to stay by your side
Forever and always
But I just don't want to hurt anymore
So I choose to forgive and hopefully forget
I want to make it work
Make everything okay
Don't do this to me anymore
Don't pretend that you don't care...
I've never hurt you like this
And I ask for the same in return
Because believe me
Chances don't come in fourths
And you'll miss me
If I'm gone
