Poisoned Love

You hold the past in your hands,
Old beauty preserved through time.
I love you, yet you remind me of my regrets,
Mistakes I made, and cannot deny.
Your eyes gaze through hers,
Seeing me for the first time.
And history will repeat itself,
The fault, once again mine.
He stole your heart, like he did with her,
And it was me whom you suddenly hated.
But when you weren’t around him,
You became confused and disoriented.
And you discovered you loved both of us,
Each in a different way.
And although it was a stupid choice,
You wanted both of us to stay.
But the past appeared in the present,
And the past, she did then die.
You gave your life for both of us,
And the truth was what became of that lie.
Now I hold your still body in my arms,
The tears down my cheeks freely flowing.
And I would live on, forever hating him,
Not knowing that in your heart, it was me you had chosen.
