I Don't Love You

She called me out one night
and I waited in a fearful freight
Come to find out she’s leaving me
Even though she became my need
I thought I could get her back
Couldn’t believe that she left someone who would stay intact
Just might
If I say she’s right
But Not Obviously
because it’s a prophecy I just can’t see
It was over right then and there
She attacked me only because I cared
Beat me with her swears
But who knows?
I can’t tell by the way she shows
Maybe the impact of her intolerance was something of the normal
As if always calling me out was a way to be immortal
So I tell her how it is,
Now it’s how it was.
Must admit,
I really liked the buzz
and the buttons that I pressed
When she yelled at me.
Had to get it out my chest
Night after night it stopped being we
or us
Love or lust
We were together
It was our trust
Forget the crush
Because it crushed my heart when I found out I pulled us apart

And now I don’t love her at all anymore
But I know I’ve messed up bad,
That’s for sure,
I was the lure,
Poison,
And not the cure,
Unless I helped not to be so insecure
But I can’t right now
Because now I’m not here
Just to think what a year almost brought us
But just to realize I was the one who really stopped us
