Chapter 26 - WHAT LOVE WASN'T

They say when you're in love you learn not to regret

Embracing every moment hoping not to forget

But with you I want every memory gone Every second I've spent in your warmth I want lost

Because loving you has always felt like loving a ghost

Or being some parasites host

They say being in love is feeling at home in someone else's soul

Finding a place where you can be whole

A home where you find comfort

that you no longer have to roam

but with you I feel lost and alone

Broken to the bone

Because I had to be a version of every girl you've ever loved-to you I'm just a clone

They say love is supposed to be loud but why does our seem to be silent

You embrace me in the dark when no one's looking, always keeping your affection discreet

Then text me in the late hours of night apologizing like I'm some dirty little secret

It's always the I'm sorry that unnecessary apology that will lead to a fight

And in the end it turns out to be my fault

All because apparently I don't know when a conversation should come to a halt

They say finding love is happiness

But in you all I found is loneliness

A bitter sweet love that broke more than it built

That left me hurt up to the hilt

More broken then when I came seeking love in your arms

Love that only caused me bitter harm
