You Are Poison

You should have told me. You should have told me you were bad for me...

You should have told me how hard his would be,

Instead you let my love grow for you like a tree.

I entwined my roots around yours and let the tips of our branches touch,

I didn't love you as such,

but, almost maybe more, then not much.

All those nights spent under the stars,

Watching the city lights with the faintest hum of cars,

Drinking wine and smoking your dads cigars...

Little did I know you were taking me away,

A small piece of brightness each and everyday,

A small piece until all I was left with was the thought of a holiday.

A holiday I thought I was to fly on with you,

If only I knew,

What little good you had done and would do.

I pushed everyone else out of the picture,

Until it was a couples portrait featuring a love elixir,

Now its a painting of an unrecognisable me and my favourite bottle of liquor.

Loneliness hurts more then you breaking my heart,

If only I was warned at the start,

If only I could put the pieces back together that had fallen apart.

You should have told me. You should have told me you were to hurt me so badly...

I wish I hadn't pushed everyone away, I wish I weren't so lonely,

I wish I hadn't thought you were the one and only.

I wish you hadn't treated me like a trophy then, left me so coldly...
