You were a casualty of love.
Nature is cruel like that.

Began like a summer flirt,
a cheap thrill
never got further than that
although I broke your heart

Fell for your words, fell for the speed.
Sleeping in your bed, had to kiss you first.

But everytime you got closer to me
you said I couldn't come
You're hanging on to a dead dream
One that squeezes you tight
Nature is cruel like that

And now I know my place
now my soul is spilled through my throat
now my body shakes unvoluntarily in his arms
I happen to break your heart.
A few words in Whatsapp
"I let you go", you say

Nature is cruel like that.
You let me go!
But you were not the one.
I didn't choose.
It was nature, channeled through me...

Beautiful meaningless thing
Little pretty ephemeral flirt
A vacation from myself
on the ship
