You broke me

You broke me

I wanted a simple life 
 Life where I'd fall in love
Love a man who loved me more
More than words could ever be written
Written in history our love would be

My imagination never saw you
You who made my dream come true
True and brighter than the sun
The sun that dusked beautifully
Beautifully as our love grew

I loved no one else other than you
You who made me feel so vulnerable
Vulnerable that I saw myself collapse
Collapsing and crushing 
Crushing into millions of pieces

I wish I saw through your sugarcoated lie
Lying from when we met
Meeting in an incident you called fate
Fate, a victim of psychopaths
Psychopaths who kill in broad day light

You broke me 
Me who knew nothing about love
Love, the word I hate most
Most of my friends warned me
Me who refused to listen.
