Becoming nothing

You laid in my arms
Filled my mind with sweet dreams
False hopes and joys to never be
Played on my emotions
exposing my vulnerability
Only to run and hide

Take away the pain this time
Take away the lies
Every time you look into my eyes
Your hurting but I'm hurting too
Encased in others loving embrace
Trying to fill the void
Holding back the tears
Forcing smiles from ear to ear

Give back the love you stole
Make my heart whole once more
Was it not you
Who i did adore
I never lied,  i never broke ties
Yet it wasn't enough to stop the lies

Month after month we fight whats inside
The dream was to be side by side
I bought it and more
Even the child you never bore

I was convinced I was different
I was convinced I was special
To find out I was nothing but a pawn
The only one who wanted you
To have everything you wanted
The only one who couldn't afford to do it
The pauper played for a fool
All in the name of love.
