Special and Sweet



You pulled the rug
From under my feet
I believed we were starting
Something special and sweet

You gave me your reasons
But I doubt they are true
Actions give you away
I see right through you

You pushed me away
After drawing me in
Now I struggle to be
Only merely your friend

I see you all around
And it hurts me so deep
I think about you
And cry when I sleep

I deleted all traces
Of what you and I had
Not sure how to feel
Be it angry or sad

You yanked the rug hard
Sending me sprawling
Nothing in the world
Could stop me from falling

You engaged my heart
Then tossed it away
I don't know your game
I don't wanna play

You pulled the rug
From under my feet
I thought we had something
So special and sweet
