Hello love I haven't heard your voice for days now You were always one for the dramatic I just didn't expect this You left me so suddenly, you know? And it wasn't like the movies There was no last kiss or embrace Just your body lying lifeless on a silver tray I had them cremate you Because I just couldn't bear the thought of you Six feet under Left to decompose amongst living things Like a mockery of your passing Your ashes are spread amongst our special place Somewhere only we knew I refuse to accept you're gone This love was never bittersweet Nor was it easy No, this love was ours And it's end wasn't climactic It wasn't like the movies

It Wasn't Like the Movies
Hello love I haven't heard your voice for days now You were always one for the dramatic I just didn't expect this You left me so suddenly, you know? And it wasn't like the movies There was no last kiss or embrace Just your body lying lifeless on a silver tray I had them cremate you Because I just couldn't bear the thought of you Six feet under Left to decompose amongst living things Like a mockery of your passing Your ashes are spread amongst our special place Somewhere only we knew I refuse to accept you're gone This love was never bittersweet Nor was it easy No, this love was ours And it's end wasn't climactic It wasn't like the movies
I've been writing short films for a little while now and I decided to take things from a different, more blunt, realistic perspective. I wanted to write about how when true love is taken, it isn't like a film, or something written in books. There most often isn't a fairytale ending. When love is taken, the partner remaining is suddenly left to begin anew.
