Love Only Lies


I gave you plenty of space

in spite of the room.

This damn heartbreak,

I might die from it soon.

You've created a monster,

a monstrous man.

More than a monster, 

look what you've done to your man.

I suppose this is the opportunity

that we're presented with.

Death by the Pen

starting to become

the best way we could end this with.

Friendly affairs,

dont think you're the only girl

I've been sinning with.

-

Soul searching, 

I quit living for Love 

Cold turkey.

You make this pain 

hurt so good,

I knew this pain 

was nothing but old hurting.

You live to hurt your loved ones,

so, 

so, 

hurt me.

Several body blows, 

I thought you would aim for my head.

Love, 

I'd love to come for you,

but would it be Christian of me

if I came for the dead?

-

Welcome home again,

welcome home again,

Heaven can wait

when my Hell is home again.

Lucy displaying downfalls of ours,

only to let our friends watch.

There's a series of them

That he could let them binge watch.

-

This damn heartbreak,

I will die from it soon.

Let me butterfly out,

why must we die in cocoons?

You burned me like the sun,

our smiles fell from our faces

like the night leaving the moon.

-

Love only tells me the truth

when you're not in the room.
