Unforgiven

Do you remember how I loved you,
giving love from the depths of my heart?
I could place no other above you,
giving you my soul from the very start.

Though it seems I loved in vain,
you were the world in which I lived.
But now my heart is riddled with pain
from the love that you had to give.

So kind and gentle with words,
only when there was something you wanted.
But kindness is only self-served
when your words come back to you haunted.

Though frustrated with all of your lies,
I believed you without a doubt.
But once the truth began to rise
it became clear what you were about.

Somehow, it seems so funny.
I was so eager to make you mine.
Just a fool soon departed from his money,
desperate to make the most of my time.

Less than a man is how I feel
in a world where you are King.
Ruling your land with hands of steel,
while treating your King like a Queen.

It's no wonder the devil raped you,
enticed by his silver and gold.
It's no wonder why I now hate you,
weary of the crown you hold.

Now you've taken more than I've given.
In giving I have no more.
In forgiveness you are unforgiven,
while never forgetting the love you destroyed.
