You are Cruel

A cruel joke, a compliment you never meant 
Led him to think you were interested in more
It led his heart to open to the terrible thought
He'd need to try again to love, relearn to adore
But you just wanted the gifts he brought you
The investment he'd give, for not a single thing
It didn't matter to you, truly, to give him nothing
Like the dozens before him, those still to come
You don't care what you do or what you've done
