Black and Blue

Folder: 
love

So many times
Always hurt
Suffered and treated like dirt
Never got to see the tears I cried
Even though every time I always tried
Keeping that smiling face
Nobody could see the pain it replaced
Only if anyone could see right threw
Thing is no one even has a clue
The laugh that concealed it all
Tried using you to break my fall
Never knew love had a price
Seemed so much like a sacrifice
Used, and beat down
Thinkin it was just foolin around
Playing games with my heart
Never thought itd be like that from the start
Ever sweet and tender touch
Everyday used as a crutch
But when was it ever enough
To the point where it became too rough
All the aggressive control
Sent flying into a fearful black hole
Was it love or just lust?
Now just memories of you in the dust
You left me this mess
Now im here picking up the rest
Opened up to you, let you in
With the pain you put me through, I could never win
Took the risk, put my heart on the line
You threw it away like it was all just fine
Gave it my all
Even there to catch your fall
But nowhere to be found when I cried out to you
So here I am alone, with my heart all black and blue..
