I feel the pain in my left chest
The one caused by an absence of what I don’t know
Could it be the absence of your pretty lies?
Or of the empty promises of your hands
The one that promise to take me to the aisle
To make me reach heaven on earth
No wonder you wouldn’t watch me cry
Because you knew an ocean of tears was in the future
Born of love and hatred
For this one fellow I could cut branches, let my guides down
For this one fellow risk were worth taken
Because i felt it was true
But barely knew we were through
Painful as it seems every memory was joyful
Because every action and words were of true intent
  Intent to love and to hurt
