From Him to Her

Surely we’ll get it right this time.
Sadly that’s what we said the last time
She trusted me with her life
Thoughtful. But I barely trust myself with mine
Chasing after little rabbits
Hoping, they lead to a place of magic

It could be the memories of old that keep us together.
But we all know memories fade
Ignoring the truth as we dare to lust
This won’t last.
I feel the distance as I lay beside,
A black hole where your heart used to reside.

Broken pieces of my heart, season the little love we have left
Thin line between love and hate
I understand that now,
Anything to flee the pain

Tasteless habits and forbidden pleasures
We thought we found love
But I couldn’t tell, with which set of lips she said “I Love You”

My sanity is rooted at the deep end of this brew
Spent nights with choirs of dogs, howling at the moon
Reminiscing on the good times
Thanks to you, love is but a myth to me
How could I have been absent to see?
I was never going to win

You even had Cupid in your arsenal
You chuckled, as he pierced through my heart
But wait here comes the best part.

Soon you’ll drown in memory
Sprinting towards my destiny
I let you in after all the persuading
Now in the darkness we linger
Blood rushes as I see a distant light flicker.
