Elizabeth

Elizabeth

 

 

This is your fault

How could you forget?

You trust too easily

Trying to make peace with others

You put yourself in jeopardy

And this is what you get

All your hard planning

They’re thrown back in your face

You knew what you were doing

You knew you’d get hurt

But that last little spark inside you

It caused you another mistake

She’s never been faithful

She always runs away

You still enter in this mad race

Just to see her smile

Her appearance is beautiful

Perfect in your eyes

Yet pass that she’s just plain evil

Rotten to the core

She knows she’s got you

She uses you as a shield

You fight all her enemies

You can help the things you do

You just want her company

But she’s not in love with you

You’re much too old

She’s much too young

You’ll give her your world

Only to watch her crash it down

Yet you keep on trying

You’re the definition of insane

You’re still hopeful

That maybe one day she’ll come around

You’ve told her your feelings

She says you’re like a dad

Such pain she puts you through

You’re respectful

You always give her a choice

She always chooses the other

It’s a sad little game you play

You’ve become addicted

You can see no wrong

You can’t see at all

You catch her every fall

She never even acknowledges you

She thinks of herself higher

To her you’re inferior

What wouldn’t you do to make her happy

You’ve got nothing left to give

So she kills you one last time

She’ll never be a part of your life

She gives you one last look

Then poof

She’s gone

I've never had this happen to me, but in the book I'm writing with my friend, these are the two character's relationship with one another. Thanks for the review.
