2. COUER MORT
At first it was no obligation
'Til fueled by that she desired
To force herself through complications
For one she so dearly admired
She constantly strived to work her way through
Even when times would seem tough
To tirelessly claim, "I live only for you"
But in the end 'twas never enough
Relieved and content
She bared her heart to a stake
Unaware she'd repent
My illusion, my mistake
3. …
Through the bleak and stormy weather
If only in presence he had stayed
It would've helped her so much better
Than the million empty words he said
Now where to go, she lost her way
In the future she'd foreseen
To choose the love she dreamed to own someday
Or the mistakes, the spaces in between
In the end, she chose to stay
And give her love another chance
To live her dream, work out a way
To see her love in a second glance
4. …
Empty, plunged in dead dark dim
A shattered flightless dove
For pieces of her remained in him
And everything they used to love
Left forlorn, and in despair
He left without good bye
And a truth she learned, although unfair
To love is to cry, to stay is to die.
5. AMOUR ET FLETCHES
Draw.
She was a contented little girl
Who had not yet understood
The inner workings of life
The rules for love that stood
Aim.
It all seemed random
The way Love chooses its prey
It all happens when she'd fathom
Why his smile brightens up her day
Fire.
Affection. Compassion.
It was fun for she was struck
It was Love, It was passion.
Insanity; she was stuck
6. Then came sweet, crazy, half-thought letters
More thrilling than one could see
Misunderstandings way much better
Than understanding could ever be
Spinning; Swerving; Crashing, EJECT.
She reveled in ecstasy
But then came something one would expect
An end to her fantasy
7. WHAT ARE WE?
We lay before a starry sky
On the other side of the blue
And in content, I heaved a sigh
And then I turned to you
You quickly turned as if asleep
And feigned a drowzy yawn
But soon you turned and slept so deep
That it echoed through the dawn
I closed my eyes and turned my back
To rest on your outstretched hand
There were so much things I knew I lack
For us two to understand
8. …
And in a trance, I held my breath
For the future I'd foresee
The thing I fear way more than death
Was your answer to "What are we?"
9. WHEN LOVE EXPIRES
It all seemed been great
When love had first began
I just didn't know until it was too late
And you had been long gone
We first met at that coffee shop
When you bumped me and I fell
But then you hailed my falling to a stop
And made sure I was well
Then it came the very next day
I thought it was insane
When you told me you would stay
We'd meet here once again
10. …
I was distraught
A fool, naive to believe in things you'd say
And so I waited at the same old spot
As I thought come what may
A few hours later
You did come but with a lady by your side
And in my heart a large new crater
As I had died inside
11. IT ALL COMES BACK TO YOU
Its sad to see you happier
I'm sorry if it does
It just pains me when I see you with her
When it all began with us
I remember how we used to laugh
At all those little things
Without you it feels like my other half
Saw fun as pain that stings
Truth be told, I didn't care
There was nothing I regret
But deep inside, Im in despair
Of how fast you could forget
Left not knowing what to do
I chose to let it go
But in the end it always came back to you
All just so you know.
