Today I died

Today I died
my world crumbled
the earth stopped spinning around my perfect fantasy world
and my heart stopped

Was i so naive, stupid, and childish to believe that you would never date another
to believe that when we broke up
you couldn't bring yourself to embrace another
that i was your one true love

i found out today what I had never allowed to enter my mind
that you could hold, caress, or kiss someone
without the thought of me crossing your mind
i've trusted you without jealousy

for the first time in my life, I'm such a hypocrite
so what if i've done this to a greater or lesser degree
i just thought you would be mine
so i didn't share my deeds with you, as you failed to share them with me

why did you break up with her
was it because you couldn't give her your whole heart
you couldn't make love to her and feel it as you've done with me
or is it true that you're a liar, a cheat, a typical man

why do you keep telling people that there's no chance of us again
do you really believe that
why do you keep holding onto me if you don't want me
you are taking all of my life,soul, and spirit

Today I died all over again
as i imagined all the times you and I have shared intimacy that can never be matched
according to you, I'm the best you've had or ever will have
then why didn't you just return to me

thoughts of banishing you from my life make me weak
i've been so hurt by you at times that it seems the only logical conclusion
but then your good moments are so refreshing
that i feel guilty for doubting you

it's no lie that you aren't the same man i fell in love with
you don't worship me like you once did
but our relationship is becoming real
I'm seeing your flaws and you're seeing mine

I decided to forget all the stuff I knew
to block out your world that hasn't formally invited me yet
but we're on the verge
can you feel it

these women that you do whatever you do with
has it taken that many to replace me
only to find that you fail miserably
i'm a whole package...you know i'm the one..what's taking you so long

i can't deny that there will always be a place in the back of my mind that doubts your words now
that wonders where you are when you say with friends
have you slept with these women
or are they merely meaningless drunken makeout diversions

do i even have the right to ask
you aren't mine just yet
but you will be soon
and i've chosen to call it even

after all, i'm no angel
but i doubt if you would want to hear about my trials
would it pierce your heart as it did mine
would you have the decency that i've had to let it go

do you know that i know
why didn't you tell me
that you were dating someone
while still holding onto me

that girl meant nothing to you obviously
i have so much more to offer you
and i pray that you see it
because i was almost pushed to the edge today, but the thought of you brought me back

give me my surprise
brighten my day, show me that you care as you have
and i'll be part of your life
today i died-but you brought me back
