You Told Me.

You told me you loved me,
I was a fool to believe you meant it.
You told me you would never leave me.
Then why am I here on my own?
You told me I would never have to worry about you.
So why is that all my mind can do?
You told me you would never forget me.
So why do I not know you anymore?
You told me I'd never lose you.
So why am I here trying to find you again?
You told me so many things.
Which I believed at the time.
Lied to me. You hurt me.
I hurt myself, because I punished myself.
Thinking it was my fault.
I blamed myself for your mistakes.
And now these are things I can never take back.
I am scared by you.
I'm scared of losing you.
I'm scared to watch you leave.
I'm scared to have my heart broken by you.
Again.
