I let them

I let them get in my ear

and they didn't even speak 

I let them cut you out of me 

And I'm still bleeding and raw 

A great deception 

The law of social norms

The implied despotism 

Of stigma 

Of stain 

But I am slain 

I wear the eternal stain 

Because I didn't love you 

Like I should have 

I Loved him more

  Sometimes we weigh love on

 

Sometimes we weigh love on a scale – but weight is not the important thing. Sometimes it just feels better, and so we concede.

I guess that's the ultimate

I guess that's the ultimate Irony... it felt worse! it always felt wrong, and it still does. And while it's cryptic for relatabilty's sake, regret is not a strong enough word to encompass this. Thankyou for your wise words and keen insights. Yes sometimes we weight love on a scale (most happy) doesn't mean you're necessarily going to be happy. Hugss
