Description
You robbed meYou robbed me of my innocence
Of my optimism
Of my youth
Of all my love
You took so much from me
and gave me nothing in return
I was your perversity
I was your Lolita
And you were my knight in shining armor
Little did I know
The armor was sugar glass.
I was once full of hope
I once wished on stars
I was once bright eyed
But you wore me down
Like water does a stone
And now what's left
Is a shallow imprint
A carbon copy of you
You weigh me down
The pressure of your presence
Erodes me endlessly
Until I'm listless
Restless
Hopeless
Loveless
Yet, how do I still love
Today?
How do I trudge forward
To tomorrow?
With the false hope
Of you
Tucked securely in my pocket.
Saved for that day
Played on repeat
For five years straight.
