Once upon a time
You pressed your lips to mine
And we became victims of our own crime
We left no stone unturned and crossed every line

We burst into beautiful flame
Burning each other to the ground with every touch
And I am afraid I became quite tame
Letting go of every weapon and you became my crutch

Never in my life had I been so happy
Floating through my days
So full of gratitude, so unbelievably sappy
You filled my soul in so many ways

But it was my love that crushed it
Because you were weak and scared
And you extinguished the flame we had lit
And broke what fate had paired.

In time I returned trying to find you
But I met a stranger with cold eyes
And he did none of the things that you used to
And he assaulted me with endless lies.

I do not know or trust him
And I must assume he destroyed you
Found somewhere high and pushed you over the rim
Because you were sweet and kind and fresh like morning dew

This man is used and broken
Cruel and hard
And I only find holes when he has spoken
Picking the memories out of my skin everyone a painful shard.

Unfortunately my dear you must be dead
Killed by the delusion that poisons his mind
And now I have shared all that needs to be said
There is little value in his kind
