You've taken it all back
What once you had given
You painted your heart black
Yet  claim to be forgiving

You drown me in rancid guilt
Regret to share how I felt
Apologies mixed with blame
No more affection dealt

Feelings no longer a boon
Up and down, left and right
Heartfelt once in a blue moon
Most days as dark as night

I pour my soul, you withdraw
Into a bubble of disconnect
I explain, you twist my jaws
Upside down truths you perfect

Your bliss was only words
Maybe that's all we've got
Sorry I've walked away
All those years led to naught
