I Wrote a Letter

You said I love you too many times
More often than saying Hello.
You said I love you too early.
It wasn't love at first sight
It wasn't infatuation
It wasn't an obsession
It was a game.
A game of words.
You never loved me
You loved listening what you wanted to hear.
I was the echo of your own thoughts
I was the reflection of your own narcissism
I was at the wrong place
I was there at the wrong time.
When out of the blue
You came to give me flowers.
Poisoned flowers
I breathed your venom
I swallowed it with the sweetness of your kisses.
The lust possessed my body and covered my eyes.
I didn't notice the knife
I didn't notice your lies
I just felt the pain
When it was too late.
Too late to escape
Too late to say no and to stand up for myself.
Too late to avoid dying in your arms.
I always wanted to die for love
It wasn't love
It was a mistake and I paid with my life.
