Poison Words

I remember when we were sweethearts
I was safe with you, you were my protector
Those days are over, now I need someone
Someone to keep me safe from you
Love was all we had, we were young and sure
Who’d expect that love would turn to war
I don’t know who to pity more
How much pain can love endure
I should leave you but I can’t seem to
You say I’m sorry dear and I believe you
Though the next time might be the worst yet
How easily I forgive, how quickly you forget
The poison words, the ugliness
When low on hope and deep in debt
The promises that bring regret
For loving you is this all I get?
The poison words, the ugliness
The cold remains of married bliss
To all our dreams a fatal kiss
Oh, what kind of love is this?
