Old News
How funny it all is
we ended up not even talking about this
bitterness consumed our souls
confusion persuaded us to be so low
We fought for pennies
Disposed collections
Became enemies
Severed our interaction
We made a big scene
then ran away
to reset our minds
to a new dream
I guess in the end
We fitted the part of fake romance
pretending we would never die
yet investing in coffins
certain we would not survive
“Until the end”
You wrote on a piece of ripped paper
We could never really even start
You had the habit of leaving me alone
then accusing me of having a heart
Come on,
And I never really lied to you
I even told you all my stories
But that to really hurt you
I’m sorry for trying to make you believe
That you never meant nothing to me
When in fact
I thought that without you
I would never be able to live
yet after I thought through
For the sake of both our hearts
I really wished that I had never really met you
What I would do right back at the start
Knowing everything we would go through?
When you tried to implant
this conformed Nonsense
to keep me at hand
Without believing
in the free power
of what your heart could do
I stopped fully believing in you
Sorry I made you cry
But from my body you almost removed the light
What happened next was just a fact
Life changed to be anything it can be,
except it will always drag in my bed
The whispers of what we would be
if we were still we
Sometimes this pain
Removes from me
the peace of being able to sleep
Man how messed up was life before you came through
But in time your fake sanity drove me so far away from the truth
I did everything you asked me to do
And some other things too
But your games ended up becoming 24/7
For you
I can’t survive the silence you condemned to
Resignation made weak
Accepting judgments made me weep
But now I feel really good
It’s like I learned a thing or two
That will make me not only move on
But kind of understand you
We came in this life
With a prospect that never
Really left the realm of
Both of us living together,
in truth
may peace be residing in you
glad we once were,
but happier we’re old news
