Bubble Bubble Toil Trouble

I guess you could say it was inevitable.
I guess you could tell me that she was just a figment of my imagination,
I would force myself to believe it was true.

Your unconditional love, was riddled with hidden conditions and contracts...
And such turmoil rocks my very structure.
Your love is not as unique as I once thought,
given away to people for simple change it seems.

While you might have loved her and I, so to speak.
Then your love turns to dust before it caresses my skin.

And deeper into my own rabbit hole I fall.
I'm just a girl, just one person
Wishing I could be what you need
But would you really come back if I was?
If I am?

I would still give myself to you all over again,
Forgive and forget, as long as you still utter
softly into my ear that you love me
Always, forever

But the demon inside me, now lurks at the surface
And I fear I will succumb to it's strength over me
I have not much
Not very much at all to give
To a boy who dreams of the world, but knows nothing of it

A boy, formerly my boy
That could not grasp the reality of me
And I can no longer grasp your reality
Your every movement tantalizes me

Reminds me of what you once were

But what are you now, sweet prince?

You've broken your promise
And I've served my time
I've forgiven you, far more then you deserve
So many times, you've told me

It's only temporary
Only temporary
I don't really love her
love her
love her

I don't really need her
need her
need her

Then why do you still hold her and not me?
Succumb to her but not I?

You cannot face your truth, cannot face what you've sown
for yourself.
The words leave my tongue, burning it as they do

Do you love me?

Your eyes are pools of brown,
And they answer solemnly
Not anymore

But you do not
You no longer need to answer

And I am yours no more.
