Faded

Your words have engraved themselves onto my skin, and in my head they would spin.

When you said that you loved me did you really mean it, or was it just for your benefit?

And for all those nights spent on the phone, talking endlessly until we both fell asleep, but I guess I was the only one who fell in deep.

And all those times you said that we would meet, the endless excuses got old, and that’s when I found out that you were a cheat.

And when asked to choose between the one that you ‘loved’ and the one you hardly knew, you chose in a heartbeat, your words hurt, so I quickly pressed delete.

All the memories have now faded and all that is left is a hole in my heart, maybe it was the best that we part, but your eyes were really a work of art.

And all that is on repeat is when I left your sight, and you didn’t even put up a fight, maybe after all we weren’t really that tight.

But I believe that in every bad there is a good, and now I have learnt my lesson; to value myself so much more, and the next time someone hurts me I will remind myself I have better to look for.
