To soon

To soon

I spoke well of you

Brought you up to our level

Told people tales, lies

When I thought they were truth

To soon

I turned you into a saint

I made you into someone like me

Someone who would understand

The people who surround you

To soon

My world felt all to perfect

Like someone had painted over all the bad

Took the evil and erased it from our minds

And actually made me believe in you again

To soon

I let my guard down

And thought maybe you would love me again

Thought maybe I could smile again

But with a look you brought me back down again.

To soon

I said I love you

I saw you change before my eyes

You turned into a monster

You spat words like fire my way.

And just like that

My too soon turned into your too late

And I moved on

And left you with your words

Because that’s all they were, words.
