The Truth is the Latter

How do I bring myself to tell you the truth?
To tell you how I really feel...
Not to express an undying love,
But to express a jealousy,
Raging inside of me.

A fire burning
Through my chest...
I'm all alone,
And who's the one to blame?
Alas,
It is I
This one time.

But how can you be so cruel?
How can you be so unkind?
You broke a rule,
And I can't tell you
How it has me going crazy!!
How am I supposed to ruin your happiness?
So I'll remain here,
Going out of my mind...

How could you do this to me?
How could you hurt me this way?
Do you hate me so much
As to leave me alone,
To face the torn memories,
To fight with myself?
Or am I blowing this
Completely out of proportion?
I'd love to say it was the former,
To convince myself that it's all your fault,
Spend my nights reassuring myself
That you're the one to blame,
But I know it'd be a lie...
A lie formed by the creature
That's trying to break free
From it's cage...

So as this girl,
Hurt and withering,
Stands here,
I will stay like this -
Quiet,
Loyal.

Lexie...why would someone so hurt feel that she has a need
to remain "loyal"?...as a friend, I suggest you get out of this
"cage" so you can smile again...

And, by the way, you write beautifully...
