All For You

I left late last night

I didn't really know where to go

Left my home for you

Gave up everything for you

Cheated myself out of everything

For you

Why?

Love doesn't explain it

Hate doesn't cover it

So Why?

Why did I do this for you?

I no longer know

All I know is that I'm lost

Lost and not to return

All for you

And for what?

A knife in the back,

In the heart,

In the lungs,

Constant burning in my body

All from the pain inside.

All from you

What pleasure do you get?

Betraying me this way?

With all we have done

Together

Why?

For who?

What kind of love is this?

That you would betray me so?

Use me

For what?

All for You

So I say good-bye

To everything we've done

Together

For now I am alone

In this dark world all alone.

All for you

Is this the end?

Am I to forever live with this?

This atrocity

Is it true then

Do you love me no more?

Love

How sad the thought

How stupendous the act

All of it

All of this

For You

And so,

I end my thoughts

I end my life

With you

Thoughts of you

Tears

For you

I'm through with you

Done with you

Want nothing to do with you

I say good-bye to you

Return home from you

Run away from you

Not out of fear for you

But of hate for you

All for you

Not my life ended

Yours

Your life no more

All life force gone from you

Death grabs hold of you

The knife turned on you

All this pain

All this blood

All this vengeance

All for you.
