If only you knew what's going on this side,
It's so much more than stepping away,
Falling out of love,
Poison, my love.  

Forever, we said we'd stay together,  
Your warmth, is all I can remember.  
We spent every day with each other,  
Why did you leave me alone?

How we talked about life,
Not even words are coherent with your feelings now.
Perhaps our someday,
Was simply a code for never.  

How easily did you walk away,  
Strangely everything is gone.
I can only feel the chill in the air,
My cold heart,
No longer beats to keep me alive.  

I cannot read my name on your lips,
I cannot sense my warmth in your hugs,
Words, empty words, my love,
Delusional, viscous love.

You fell out of it,
While I still stay,
That's the tale, my love,  
A painful fairy tale.
