Chapter 64 - Your gaslight...

Sitting here on Valentines day.

Things never seemed

So dull,

Oh, so gray...

I can't recall the last time

I said

Those words in order

I cannot say...

The scales are always tipping

On me.

Keep leaning on me.

I had to sway...

You never cared to aid me.

Instead you

Piled it on

Until it would break...

-

I never thought

That it would end like this.

Tried my best

To give you all the stars

I...

Thought that we would

Go the whole distance.

Never thought that I

Would end up with scars...

-

But you knew how to make me sick.

You knew exactly what to do

To make my pieces tick...

And I was blinded by your love

I wanted all of it...

But you would never give me nothing

But your faded shit...

Yeah...

Yeah...

And you knew how to make me sweat...

And I remember all the shit

That you forgot you said.

And all that time, the love I had for you

Was in my head...

Now all the shadows chase me down

And fill me with regret...

-

I would bite

Your gaslight...

I would bite

Your gaslight...

-

Walk around,

I still can see your shadow...

Etched in dust,

Buried in the gravel...

Left me up the creek

Without a paddle...

Shattered all my peaks,

Left me raddled...

I never thought

That you could be so twisted...

Pedestals...

They never felt so lifted...

Tore me down,

I never did feel gifted...

All my inner gears

Are now quite shifted...

-

I never imagined

I'd have to leave.

If I didn't, my loyalty would have killed me...

I never thought

You were cruel and selfish.

I lived by all your rules...

-

And you knew all my secret shit...

You knew exactly what to say

To topple all of it...

And I was never your first pick,

My heart would never fit...

And you just kept on treating me

Like I was fucking shit...

Yeah...

Yeah...

And you knew how to break my head...

And I remember all the shit

That you forgot you said...

I used to see in every color,

Now I just see red...

I can forget you

But I never will fucking forgive...

-

I put out

Your gaslight...

I put out

Your gaslight...

-

I felt like I was never enough.

I hate that I could not call your bluff.

I know that you were just full of fluff.

So cold to me while acting so tough.

I...

Never knew why I deserved to be treated like that...

And you'll never care,

So I'll move on.

I'm all healed from that.
