I've messed up now,
I've let love in.
I dont know how,
I dont know when.

I let it consume me,
My every thought and dream.
It's too late to make you see,
Many things arent as they seem.

I've built back my walls,
Where there once were none.
You ignore my calls,
Because I always run.

Love started the battle,
But when it's all said and done,
Love will elude us,
And hate will have won.

Jealousy is ugly,
In comraderie with lies.
Broken are we,
As are our ties.

Our love was ethreal,
None could deny.
It was so easy to feel,
That we were so wise.

We were going to make it,
All on our own.
Our candle was lit,
Our light brightly shone.

You showed me warmth,
Protection and tenderness.
You always gave me more,
And never any less.

You taught me to trust,
And harbor no ill will.
Friendship was a must,
And i wish it were still.

No one could stop us,
Try as they might.
I wish I'd have known jus',
How much they were right.

When the pain started,
I do not know.
I became down-hearted,
Your love ceased to ever show.

Now my life is a ruin,
And our love quenched with hate.
Because I let love in,
And let it determine our fate.

My soul is dead and black,
Where you once set it free.
I refuse to take you back,
You'd rather die than talk to me.

I played my part too,
Insecurities in high supply.
But I thought of all people you,
Could hear my desperate cry.

There is nothing left in me,
Mind, body, or soul.
I exposed myself for you to see,
Nothing will ever again make me whole.

I let love in,
I paid the fee.
I let love win,
It was the death of me.
