No more hate,
no more fear,
no more pain,
no more tears.

No more wondering,
no more worrying.
No more, just no more,
no more anything.

I want the dark,
I need the dark.
I long to be enveloped,
sucked in, drawn down.

The lure of the blade,
the draw of the gun,
one quick slice,
one quick pull,
No more pain,
It’s done.

They say that love can cure all wrong,
turn darkness into light;
But what of darkness borne of love,
turning good times into night?

I gave my love to you,
my soul and body and heart;
I opened up my very being,
Yet pain tears me apart.

Your indecisiveness,
and insecurities too;
I love them like everything else,
Because they’re part of you

You fill my heart with love,
But with pain and sorrow too;
I love that I’m in love with you,
But I also hate it too.

I hate the way you make me feel
like I’m no longer in control;
I love the way you make me feel
like we’re two halves of a whole.

Just know that my love is always yours
Above all I swear this;
I cannot live without your love,
Your arms, your smile, your kiss.

To know you love another,
chose his arms over mine,
is causing my heart to break in two,
my tears to burn like fire.

My life to me means nothing,
without you by my side;
Since you took your love from me,
I’ve cried, oh how I’ve cried.

This world for me is dead and gone,
no point in living more;
I leave this place to rot away,
and feel this pain no more.

You told me that you loved me
You looked right in my eyes
Yet now you say you don’t,
So which words are the lies?

You said we’d be together,
forever and a day
Then just like that you change your mind
And calmly walk away.

You cried when we were parted
Were happy when we weren’t
Now you say that it was false
your words they truly hurt.

The time we spent together
was the best of my whole life
But the pain that you’re now causing me
Cuts deeper than a knife.

I feel my poor heart breaking
forever torn in two
I have no wish to live right now
and it’s all because of you.

You lied and you deceived
You kept me hanging on
Why couldn’t you just tell the truth
Instead of leading me on and on.

I swore that I would love you
With breath until my last
And that for me will never change
even though we’re now apart.

You say you love another,
You tell me you’re sorry
Apologies don’t help
with this pain you’ve caused to me.

My everything I’d give to you
My life if that’s your wish
I’d give my last, dying breath
for just a single kiss.

You’ve torn my heart asunder
Made me hate myself and doubt
that life can go on as it did before
if you I am without.

Although you’ve ripped my very soul,
My love goes on and on
in the hope that one day you’ll realise
that I really am “the one”
