Origins

From the beginning,

I knew you were going to wreck me

And I let you.

From the very start.

From those first moments,

I saw the tears that would pour

Down my face.

From the first glance.

From the first touch,

I felt then the pain underneath

Something sweet.

From that first kiss.

From your first joke,

I heard the sound of distant scorn

Echo through me.

From that first laugh.

From our first fight,

It pained me that my love would

Slowly become hate.

From that first shout.

From the first words,

You spoke all these pretty words

That were empty.

From your first lie.

From the first meeting,

I greeted you knowing eventually

You’d leave me.

From the first hello.

From the beginning,

I knew you were going to wreck me

And I let you.

From the very start.

From the very start.
