Ruins by A.J. Cassien (classic novels to read .txt) 📕

Ruins

It started out like a dream
Nothing felt quite real
And then it changed
When I came back
To reality

Finding my true love was hard
And I didn’t like the walk
But when I came
To the end of the road
You were waiting there

For three long years
We shared so much
Tears, laughs, stares
I thought you were my perfect one
Guess I was wrong

I didn’t know
Whose fault it was
But I willingly took the blame
And now I wish I hadn’t
Taken what wasn’t
Rightfully mine

You never loved me
I know that now
Too bad I didn’t know before
If I did would have
Walked right out the door

I didn't know
What else to do
To make me
Stop from loving
You

You tried to leave
I tried to go
Guess I figured
We'd never let go

I know I don’t miss you
You don’t deserve
My sympathy
But now I know
You are my own worst enemy.

You built it up
You broke it down
I didn’t know what to do
How was I supposed to know
When my heart broke in two?

Looking back
Is when I see
What we never became
I’m glad you didn’t get that far
Into your stupid game

So self-centered
I should have known
From our very first date
But I was too busy
Falling in love
With someone I should hate

You left my life
In ruins
You didn’t say goodbye
And now I really want to know
Is there a reason why?

I just can't help but notice
How stupid you really are
To think that you could
Get away while trying
to steal my heart?
