Nevertheless

It started with glee and joy and fun

With playful echoes my heart had run

Nevertheless, I found out I wasn't the one

I knew that there was nothing to be won

You may take your leave

I wanted peace and nothing more

Hoping we could close and open a new door

Nevertheless, I was ignored like a passing whore

Now I question how I ever could adore

You made me into a fool

I thought I had escaped from captivity

Became oh so free, and unbearably happy

Nevertheless, you've brought your toxicity

And now I have to relearn how to breathe

You are a poison in me

I never needed to give my tongue a bite

Seeming that things had always been right

Nevertheless, I was haunted by painful tears at night

So I showed you my truly angered might

You brought a devil out of me

I approached you with strength and will

Not thinking that my words would kill

Nevertheless, I was angry still

You gave me another bitter pill

You made me regret my actions

I washed off my fear and pain

Learning from my shame, I'll gain

Nevertheless, I shan't feign

If you pull at this lion's mane

You should be ready for a counter

You've invaded my nature, through and through

Taken from me what I cherished too

Nevertheless, jokes on you

I have twice of what you wanted to do

You can't smoke me out of my home
