Love Poem: Half a Love

Half a Love

I thought you were giving me
Everything
But in reality you were just
Pretending

It was like a love story
Except it was only half done
I was the only one being real
You just hooked me in
Because you wanted something to control
I thought you were my first love
But now I realize you didn't even
Love me at all

I had a broken heart before
But you came to mend it
Once it was fixed
You broke me down and took half of it and left

It was like you wanted me
To feel empty
But you wanted me to feel
Every sort of anger and pain
At the same time

But where is the man
I fell in love with before?
The one who couldn't stand to see me cry
I guess he never even existed 
Or did greed get to him
And he just vanished with time

It was half a love
I gave you everything while I was
Dying
And you gave me nothing while you were
Thriving
And now that I've given you everything
You left me for dead

Short Explanation: I have seen people I love go through so much anger and pain because of stupid people. It kills me personally; so I wrote a poem through their point of view, and I came up with this.
