Like murky waters,
You've become poison to my soul...
Engulfing me entirely, my heart has gone limp,
Drowned in a world too void and too cold
And I reminisce like it was yesterday.
Our very first introduction…
How my heart was beating rapidly,
Mind going mile per minute,
Excitement racing against the nervousness—
But my love was going (and growing) the fastest.
Now all that's left is the memory of laughter:
How you have a way with words.
Lies spoken like the truth,
Didn't skip a beat
YET I NEVER saw the real you.
They say ALWAYS test the water…
I observed you carefully.
Dipped my toe in your pool,
Felt the warmth of your smile,
Then waded in completely
After my initial fall.
Not knowing you have to go in deeper to find deceit.
I felt the ripples and waves, which tickled,
And I let my worries swim away.
Time flies when you're having fun
And even faster when you're lovesick…
Now I'm only ill.
You almost killed me…
However, I escaped
Had to hold my breath
And swim as fast as I could
Out of your mind-controlling lake.
Ah, the lessons that I have learned!
A splash of heartbreak can last forever.
Because my mind cannot rewind
The past times we spent together.
Some say that love's departure
Is sometimes for the better
And love, like the oceans' tide,
Will continue to change…forever.
But right now, I'm at my lowest.
I've hit rock bottom.
Ground Zero.
I thought I had a hero
Or, at least I was kissing a toad
And wishing for a prince…
And WHAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE,
To make yourself look good
You dog me out.
Saying I'm nothing more than a nickel;
When I'm a quarter-piece, no doubt.
Now I'm confused, I just don't know…
What was it that I did or didn't do?
You said you loved me…
YET I NEVER knew the real you.
