As Now We Are

I used to think there was a common lure,

A common attraction to the love we built.

But every relationship begins to crumble

As now we are.

 

If I could simply explain that all of your

Words cut me. All of your flowered colors wilt.

But I simply cannot and I fall into mumble

As now we are.

 

What was clear between us begins to blur.

There is grey area, no clear sign is felt.

But how is it we never used to stumble

As now we are.

 

You were impossible to blame

And as was I.

But the Moor left life due to outwardly shame

 

And the lure into our deceit was too great

And what we had built no longer held meaning

And the stumble was hardened by the foundation

And it was no more,

As now we are.
