Mistaken for Love

I thought...
You really loved me.
I swore that you cared.
I guess I misunderstood,
When you wanted me there.

Now I'm confused, what really occurred?
Was it imaginary, what I had heard?
Was this a no strings attached?
Now all I want is my heart back.

No more pretend,
Enough of you prevarications.
Let it just end,
I can't take all you lustful invitations.

Why are you ashamed of me?
Do you really care?
You swear to me you do,
But your hearts not truly there.

I want to be your everything.
To show you how I feel.
But I am so afraid
That your love for me is not real.

You take my hand and tell me,
That everything is ok.
Yet you're still holding back.
Please tell me what you want to say.

So if you truly don't care.
Then please just leave me alone.
To sulk over these feelings lost,
As my heart hardens to stone. -
