Jumbled Emotions

I fell into the abyss called love, can that be
a truck called lust ran over me, my heart went splat
I cringe, thinking of him with someone other than me

My love is gone, it should have lasted an eternity
I lie in my coffin, dreaming, wearing his hat
laying in silence, consulting my bear, sipping tea

He has me in a chokehold, but I don't want to see
I was respected, now I feel like a doormat
four months of happiness with an eternity of pain as a fee

going places, reminiscing times between him and me
on campus, the movies, our first kiss, where he sat
I should be happy, no obligations, I'm free

looking out my window, I stare at a tree
I'm so infuriated, I could hit him with a bat
Would shouting from a tall building help him see?

I saved his life, I have a scar, forever on my knee
I helped him through mourning, what has he done for me the rat
I'll find myself, my friends will help, wait and see
I see little of the truth, does he still love me?
