Our “love” was destined to fail before it even began but we were blinded in this whirl wind of an ill fated love story
I whispered the words in your ear... That I was in love with you
But in return I received just those three little words all while missing the fourth most crucial variable... I love you
You look at me and ask what’s the difference?
The difference is the breath between life and death
I shook it off because I knew in the end it will all come around
That you will feel the same
I devoted everything to you... to us...
But what did I receive in return a compulsive obsession with the one before me
You never let them go
So here I am breaking my soul in order to bring you back to me... your sun
But instead I see you... my moon losing the light that lead me to you
Towards the end I knew you would never be in love with me the way that I am with you
But I had to ask with my last glimmer of hope... if you ever felt the same
Then just like water to a flame those fated words left your lips... "I’m not in love with you but I have love for you and care about you... I have only loved one person."
Well fuck you and fuck her too! That’s what I wish I said but instead
There it was... The knockout blow
The truth of our existence had finally shown its rearing head... The reason we cannot and won’t ever be great
We are that story of that relationship that should have never happened
I opened my heart, my soul, my being... to you
But in return I received nothing
