I waited so long for you to say
Those three words to me
But at the end of the day
It was never meant to be.

So now I'm broken
These tears are soaking
Through
Thanks to you.

I told you so many times
That I wanted you
But you told me a thousand times
That I didn't want you.

I gave you my all
But in the end everyone
Has to have a great fall
When they can no longer see the sun.

So now I'm broken
These tears are soaking
Through
Thanks to you.

I sit here with a heart full of stone
And a chill resonates in my bones
All because
Our love never was.

Go ahead.
Put on your little show.
Make the world think
It is all okay.

Go ahead.
**** with my head.
Make me think one day
It'll all be okay.

Go ahead.
Show the world your perfect family.
All straight and conservative.
They are all okay.

Go ahead.
Run away from the fight.
Cower inside your walls of lies
You'll make it okay.

Go ahead.
Because I will move on one day.
I'll get over it.
Finally I'll be okay.

Narcissus
In love with your own reflection.
Drowning in a pool of tears
Of your own making
Ultimately yours,
Heart-breaking.

How I adored
The image you turned on me,
Burned into my soul.
I knew it wasn’t real,
Yet I yearned to hold once more
The man I saw and loved there.

You bore deep down
Tore holes in the gossamer of my dreams
Whose tattered edges
I still cling to.
The mirror is broken now and its shards
Have turned my heart to ice,

Whilst you continue to shine
Your blinding smile on others
Enticing them to the
filigree web where
They will struggle ensnared as I have done
Smothered, stuck, drugged.

Where I remained,
Pinned back with honey words
and promises that poisoned,
Endearing looks, your searing touch
That fill me still with an image of love
Distorted, toxic.

Two-dimensional, glittering
Hard-edged, lacking depth,
The only image you care for is yours.
Mirrror-man

Lying here with you
Under the covers of your bed
Forgetting about everything else
Only thoughts of you in my head

I wish I could stay here forever
With you, like this
A smile comes so easily
With a touch, or a kiss

Lost in this moment
Please don't wake me from this dream
It's us against the world
You and I make a perfect team

But tonight is only temporary
Soon I must go
Back to hectic reality
You know I love you so

You are the light at the end of the tunnel
The one thing I look forward to
When life is heavy on my shoulders
If only you knew

Just the thought of you
Carries me through
