We found each other lonely and afraid
Not too long after, a bond was made
We soon realized we were significant to each other
And so significant she became, this one was not the same...
as the ones that came before, this one knew more
Yet she stayed around, she sought to traverse the trembling ground...
that was my self-esteem and troubled mind
And I did the same for her too, together we grew
And before we knew, our love felt most pure and true
Yet even though I rose high, my love didn't always erase her wish to die
Days blossomed and shined
Weeks lived and died
At our best we planted beautiful memories...
at our worst we hung dead together from trees
But mostly, we loved each other seemingly indefinitely
Eventually, our corpse filled days bled into our loving ways
My spark for her heart faded away,
just like everything else these days
She was no longer something to adore
I could no longer fight to see her soar
I could no longer keep her in the sky
Every moment with her felt like a lie
As even though we still laughed, we both smelled something had begun to die
We knew it wasn't the same anymore
We knew it didn't feel like before
Yet she refused to part ways
Until I said that's how it has to be
It was the best for her and me
And so part we did for some time, hoping it will clean the grime
Alas, I felt better on my own, my love did not regrow
We met some time later, I made my statement of abatement
She was saddened but she already had her eye on a potential replacement
And so I carry on, sometimes recalling her smile, wishing it will seem vile
But this is not how I feel
Our love felt pure and real, and it was
Until it started to rot, then it was not.
