Breathe in stale taste of sorrow
Air inflates each lung
Seems so much thicker now
Emptier than when we were young

My love
What happened to adrenaline
Coursing through excited veins?
Guess the fireworks fizzled out
Only smoke and the smell of gunpowder remain

This is as bad as I always feared
More tragic than movie scene
Beyond my comprehension
Past and present where I'm stuck between

It is not your fault I'm trapped in this place
Is mine for needing you so much
Suspected one day you'd break free and flee
I still allowed you to become my crutch

A chapter closes in book of my life
This time won't go back and reread that page
Although it feels like home to me
Love is actually a cage

Whole duration was held captive
Blind to the truth of it all
Affection was simply a story
Written to make me fall

I do not know why you'd waste six years
Of lives on a meaningless game
Whatever the reason
Ruined me
Will never be the same
