THE IDEA OF YOU

Roses are red, violets are blue
I will always love the idea of you

But what you did, I cannot forgive
I gave you all I could give
All you left were bruises under my skin

You bent my thoughts till nothing felt true
You held my truth like something to steal
You blurred the line between false and true
You were once gold, but the paint wore through
All that’s left is black and blue

You would take and take like I had more to give
You even took my will to live
But somehow, still, I did forgive

You bit down hard till I turned black and blue

But somehow, I still forgive
So you stay free of guilt

Roses are red, violets are blue
I’ll always love the idea of you
But I cannot forgive you for what you did
