Dying man walking



I was trying to fill your heart with love while being underfed,
Just to be ghosted, left with deep wounds that bled,
Because what turned out to be lies was everything you said,
You never really loved me or even wanted to be wed,
All you did was grab some things and away to him, you fled,
Choosing his fake ass when it should have been what's real, me instead,
But your intentions this whole time I have sadly finally read,
And now what will become forever stuck in my head,
Is how you'll never be by my side in life or even in bed,
Without you, I know what little love I have left will soon be dead.
