Love No More

Concealed beneath the surface

I build a fortress around my tender soul

Hiding behind a hollow smile

Yet my deeply feeling heart is no longer mine to keep

Idealistic views of untainted affection

I was the only one feeling love, while you felt only lust

My hearts desire, my everything 

You walked away without a second glance, leaving my dignity in tatters

I poured my entire being into you

Never once questioning that love would win in the end

I paid the price for being so naive

This was going to hurt sooner or later

I handed you my whole heart, thinking the universe brought us together

Deceit has become my shadow, and betrayal my constant companion

My serenity vanished with you, and now my existence is a tangled storm

My greatest emptiness is the space where my faith in love used to be
