Did I really love you?
I plead guilty for the final time.
You smirk in your three piece suit,
Who gave you the goddamn right?
Your attempt to buy some time,
Led us straight to a hellish ride.
You'd never seen my wrath,
Now you know what I felt inside.
I don't want to relive,
But I just want to know,
Did she give your face the same aglow?
I don't want to forget and forgive,
But can someone send a word across to him?
Our wedding picture framed,
Frames the death of you and I.
At this altar, you brought me some flowers,
At the grave, now they die and rot away.
Once the sand of our love had settled,
You found your next muse and nestled.
You never manned up enough,
To be called my man, oh boy.
I don't want to relive,
But I just want to know,
Did she give your face the same aglow?
I don't want to forget and forgive,
But can someone send a word across to him?
Did you ever choose someone and actually meant it?
Did you ever get tired of sleeping in a liar's bed?
Were you acting on a stage? Were you asked to urge this rage?
In hindsight, can this be annulled and defied?
And you will confess to the priest you did it,
I will sigh, what sin it is.
You found it exhilarating because it was unforgiven.
I would've lived with your name,
But you forgot to learn mine.
And you deserve hell,
But I get the fire.
You'll still be clandestine and illicit,
You fucked up what was ours, no apologies for being explicit.
You said my love was all you wanted,
But you were gone when the reality caught in,
You confessed in plain sight,
But I am still the one who is sinning.
And I will never forgive what you did,
I put the sword back where it hid.
I will never forget you and I will never not avenge,
The boy who never manned up to be him.
