Withering

They were beautiful
but they still made me cry
They always told the same promises
the same lies

I wanted to believe
No, I did believe
Through every I love you
and every I'm sorry

Lost between meanings
I lost myself
over and over again
Or did I try to use you to find me?

All the years I basked in your approval
Now you mocked me in plain site
You betrayed me
because I betrayed myself
​
