A Taken Way
I lost the most important person in my life today
And yet she walks amongst us
A truly unbearable pain
Uncertain what futures hold thus
A duly insurmountable strain
A sadness has since overcome me
Smiley exterior obscuring weeps internally
Had I known love expired I would’ve taken an absence of leave
‘Coz for me love goes on with no gauges capable of measure WTF just happened?!
I’m a fierce lover…if I love you?!...watch out…I’ma pierce my lover…lose myself in all of her
Including her snores and farts
Snap back to a broken heart
I am in so much pain right now
It takes me forever to do even the most basic and routine tasks because I just drift off and forget what I was doing.
I’ve cried out of pure heart ache and agony
Every moment fearful
Stompped your feet on my heart’s shell
Unleashing gushing falls on our late spring
And I understand that seasons change, that’s just the thing
Because yours was more like that huge climate undertaking
What an effort, and how poetic for Paris of all places to set the stage for the death of both flings
Hard to call it that after 13
Day in ~ week out ~ month in ~ years stack
You chose to store your love when you should’ve unpacked
At least then I could find corroborating evidence contrary to your stated facts
Sing sing my organ atop a peak of her indifference
Seeking a love that spews hindrance
Pressure gets so intense in your presence I just want to get away ~ Bifrost ~ Heimdall
A recurring theme that I thought you had broken
well , I guess you did, just not your recurring theme, but that crimson one
The one that gave itself to you ~ the one that held you above all else except his Creator
Even beyond my own mother
And maybe that’s the price I pay for that traded blunder
Man, I thought I would cliche the rest of my life with her
Instead she neglected me and let me whither
Maybe I’m imagining this but i feel my heart hanging lower inside my chest
Is that even a thing? Sounding more like a fling
Diamond status downgraded ~ losing its bling
If your feelings don't suffice for motivating ~ Guiding limbs ~ touching him ~ step by step instructions between lovers? Why is that even a thing?
Maybe I’m being overly dramatic but it just doesn’t feel right, and that is sad
It saddens me beyond a point of expression how we couldn’t make each other happy
But I must adjust and accept that cruel reality
Abandoned in an abyss ~ what a manner to awaken
Yet I’m finally wrapping my head around what’s happened
It seems I had been given away before I was taken
