You Said

You said

You said you didn’t know
You said you were surprised
You said it was too late
You said it was over

You said

You said that you would try
You said that you had hope
You said you wanted to grow old together
You said it was forever

You said so many things.

Each time
I followed the path of the words you said
With tentative caution
At first
Then rushing head first with conviction
Before falling
Over
And over
And over

Every time
I believed the things you said

You said you would be here
In these darkest of hours
You said you wouldn’t leave my side

Now
Here I am
Alone
With the lies that you said.
