It's been ten years now and I've programmed my brain to forget her little did I know that I was deceiving myself.

Things changed when I saw her.
She looked different. She wasn't the same little girl I had fallen in love with. She was now a grown woman.

She was gorgeous.
I needed her beneath me just for one night. I'd get her out of my system and move on.

That was probably a lie.

Months later.

Here I am drowning my sorrow in alcohol on my last night as a single man.
I was getting married to a woman I never truly loved.

Tara gave me a shy smile as she approached the aisle with her father.

Kelsey looked away and ignored me.

I was about to slide the ring on Tara's finger and her father's voice stopped me.

"Stop."

I turned around and faced him.

Tara grabbed his hand angrily.

"Dad what are you doing?!"

IN MY DARKEST HOUR YOU ARE MY LIGHT

Everything was nothing but a fucking lie.


I slumped to my knees pathetically and scaremed.


When I glanced at my phone the screen was broken and the darn thing kept showing her pictures like it was mocking me.


I tossed the phone across the wall and it broke apart and went off.


I poured out my feelings,my dark past and the demons inside me. I still can't believe that I fucking trusted her.


She played me and I fell for it like a gullible idiot I was.


Someone kept knocking on the door calling out my name,but I couldn't hear anything the demons inside me had taken over and they were pissed.


I kept throwing things against the wall.


Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me


Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me


Erase me, 'rase me, wish you never dated me


Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me
