My life was a tragedy.
Like a train wreck with mounting causalities.
I was on a Ferris-wheel of suffering.
As soon as I hit the top, I simply found my way back to the bottom.
I was the actor, all hopes lost.
Sitting, waiting for help to save the day.
Only my help never came.
My life was a joke, just no one was laughing.
The audience wore mortified expressions, rather than those of joy.
Agony spread like cancer through my veins.
It calcified around my heart and left me broken inside.
No matter how hard I tried to swim, the cinder-blocks were chained tightly to my ankles.
But then...
Then I met you.

My life was a tragedy.
Like a train wreck with mounting causalities.
I was on a Ferris-wheel of suffering.
As soon as I hit the top, I simply found my way back to the bottom.
I was the actor, all hopes lost.
Sitting, waiting for help to save the day.
Only my help never came.
My life was a joke, just no one was laughing.
The audience wore mortified expressions, rather than those of joy.
Agony spread like cancer through my veins.
It calcified around my heart and left me broken inside.
No matter how hard I tried to swim, the cinder-blocks were chained tightly to my ankles.
But then...
Then I met you.
