He sought love with all his might, A flame that burned both day and night, He gave his heart, his soul, his all, Yet every time, he’d take the fall.
With trust, he laid his spirit bare, In hopes that someone truly cared, But lies and deceit wove their chain, And left him with unending pain.
They used him up, they wore him thin, A love he thought would always win, But piece by piece, they took their toll, Until he was but half a whole.
He chased a dream that couldn’t last, A future shadowed by the past, His goals, once bright, now turned to dust, For in their hands, he placed his trust.
Alone he stood, a shattered man, With broken dreams and empty plans, He gave too much, believed too deep, And now he has no more to keep.
A wasted lifetime, some would say, For love that led his heart astray, But in his scars and silent cries, Lies the tale of a heart that tried and failed.
