A wasted Effort

I tried for you,

but you didn't seem to care.

I did everything for you,

but you were never really there.

I began to love you,

but you looked at me like a snare.

I looked into your eyes,

all i saw was hate.

It was a wasted effort,

so i closed that open gate.

I opened my heart to you,

and you blew in a cold breeze.

I left myself vulnerable,

and you came in for the kill.

Shattering my heart,

and letting it spill.

As i look back on it now,

i still wonder exactly how,

How it was you that i opened to?

How it was to you that i was vulnerable?

And why i wasted all that time

on a cold and heartless one like you.
