You take and you take and you take and you take-
feeding off of me like a parasite,
but I will not give, no-
I will not fall through the vows I made to you.
I swore and I swear and I will always remember that...
Beautiful day under the summer sun
when we were sitting underneath our favorite oak tree,
and that smile you gave to me-
leaving me breathless.
But, oh-the drowning had not yet started.
And once we started sinking,
we really started sinking.
We dropped and we dropped and we never had a chance-
our bouyancy was lost at sea;
eaten by a monsterous shark.
But I swore and I swear and I will always remember that...
Graceful night under the gorgeous church lights,
with you in a beautiful dress teeming with perfection-
the mirror image of all my inspirations.
I love you.
I love you too.
I do.
But, oh! Oh...
How the pain rifts through,
sinking like a weight deep into our veins...
Oh, the pain.
How it can just swim into your heart,
and grasp you like a vulture on the hunt.
My soul is screaming, and being ripped apart.
But, oh God, how I swore and I swear and I will always remember that...
Night you decided our love wasn't enough,
that I was nothing but fodder for your rage.
And how I fed you.
You gnash and you break-
tearing at my heart like a lion contained.
How you managed to persuade me to lend you my heart;
I may never know.
But like a siren calling out,
my body runs to you-
My heart does too,
just unwillingly, and wantingly,
as if my heart was possessed-
controlled by a force far away.
I sit here and I wait as time passes by.
I don't know where to go from here.
As my legs are laying in red,
they feel as two crosses laying infront of me.
Heavy; unmoving.
I wish I could sleep with you,
but how can I ever sleep without wishing you goodnight?
You left so fast,
but yet-
I am relieved.
