If I know better, I'll stay.
"Flashes of treachery in your fucking face–"
apologies for the foulness I uttered then
but it's the pain of speaking up for me.If you were wiser, then why you didn't speak?
"Excitement is fading; you lack initiative–"
turned me on and led me into nothing,
washed your hands even though we're both guilty.I once believed you'd turn my deep blues golden,
but it ages since, still, my bedroom's frozen;
I said, 'Always and forever,' You said, 'We'll be together, '
but here we are– we're two different chapters.The way you kiss me is first in history,
hold your hand the way old folks did,
make believe a life with you next to me,
and now I'm nothing left but misery.You're my holy ghost, my medicine–
the only body I long in my sheets;
my silver bullet; never waste your time,
recall the promise I made on that night–
I know, you know.If your eyes could talk, then it would be:
"The best love stories found in movie screens, '
the conversations seem to have reached their final winter
and all I have to do is to watch it wither.If I am careless, then I didn't try to ask:
"Is there a way to bring it back to life?"
but all was left was silence waltzing in the dark–
you never went easy on this hardest part.I fooled myself into thinking that this was just a phase
just like the moon above and its many faces,
you make believe me in this nothing nonetheless–
you'll be a foreign feeling I am familiar with.The way you call me lits up my spirit,
my arms around yours are my lifeline;
your words a bomb that'll explode in any minute,
you're an elephant guest, and my mind's a cabin.You came and saw me – a territory,
conquered my space filled with melancholy,
I neither see nor think that it could be
the most profound hurt that I will ever feel–
and I know you know,
you always know.Your careless words,
I bid goodbye,
you watch in silence,
as I left that night.Your shoulder's cold,
I clenched my fist;
you always know,
and I will always be–
I know, you know.
