To love Is To Destroy

To Love Is To Destroy

I loved with all my soul
I loved with all my heart
I showed my love to you,
In hopes a bond would start.

I gave myself in whole
I freed my heart from shame
If only I had known,
I was the one to blame.

I always forgave
I never forgot
Even though you had hurt me
I said that you had not

So as I lock my heart away
And build my walls up high

Just know that I loved you
Even if I was too shy

You should know that my heart cries
And my spirit undoubtedly dies

Although you did not know,
That your love led to my demise

I know that life is short
And it is not very kind

So I built up my fort
And hid behind the line.

I had loved you with my self.
I had given up my health

In hopes that we could start anew

You told me we could not work
And for that I am truly sorry

For because you were a jerk
My eyes had become starry

The blade drew across my arm
Even though I promised myself no harm

The family mourned deeply
As you wished you could keep me

For the heavens gained an angel that day

I just want you to know
That if you feel low

Just look to your heart and be cured
For I love you my boy
Even though I had heard

That to love is to destroy.
