I once saw beauty,
In a love not
Far from heaven
Oh, the wonder
The wonder of loving
In a way you�ve
Never loved before
Had I known
That this sort of beauty
Always ended in pain
Shattered ruin within the heart
I might have allowed it anyway
I might have invited it in
Oh, but when I saw her
In your arms
Those arms that belonged to me
I knew despair
Like shards of glass
Littering the bathroom floor
Stabbing into my feet
Oh, but when I saw you
Kissing her
With lips that were to be
Mine only to touch,
To taste
I felt fury,
Hatred
A pain beyond description,
Oppressing,
Like shutters locked tight
Trapping all the memories
Memories of happiness
Until all that is seen
Is the dark rubble left behind
Tears, so many tears
Splashed to the floor
A mark of your work
A sign of all I had lost
All I had needed
Gasp after gasp
Choke after choke
My heart speared
With your deadly sword
Sheathed in your love
Now bared
Revealing the cruel blade
A double-sided edge
In your emotions
Made specially
To kill the ones
Who made you feel the most
