My Heart Aches With The Truth

People change, how can you not understand that?
You pulled me in, told me you loved me,
And silly me, I believed you.
I was young, naive, so how was I to know
You loved the ideal I had been?

Our relationship built, we grew together,
Or what seemed to be that direction,
But our years as a couple went the opposite,
You said you loved me but not who I had become.
Speechless is how you left me sitting on that floor.

How can you say such things,
Hold me close, but turn your head away?
That passionate flame no longer held any heat,
And I was left to wonder why,
Asking myself what wrong had I done?

I was young and naive when we met,
This is the image you fell in love with,
How can any other logic explain our ending?
You took me and molded me with our experiences,
Then realized what I had become.

What had we done?
What was so terrible for you to turn away in disgust?
No longer was I as innocent as when we met,
But you had guilty hands in my making,
Yet I was solely punished for our crimes.

An addict, yes I had become,
But oh, such a sweet thing to crave!
I loved you every way possible, down to my core,
And I thought you felt the same,
At least your words told me so.

Thrown out like garbage, tossed on the ground,
Falling apart on the floor where you left me,
A part of me died inside to hear those words fall from your lips,
The succubus I had become at your skilled hand,
Tarnished my soul beyond the desire in your heart.
