how love works

Tue, 11/10/2020 - 19:24 -- JMacho

You lit the night when I was walking blind

Showed me a different side of myself

Proved to me in only 1 day

That love was real ,That you were real

And I can't count the I love yous

You hand them to me like antidepressant

I don't need the ones I have been taking

I enjoy this dosage

 

You no longer light the night 

I am once again blind

I feel overly exposed and easily hurt

Proved to me just as fast that

Love won't always stay, that you wouldn't stay

No I love your

I'm in withdrawal

I wish I was better off

 

You lit the night when I was walking blind

You took my hand and damn 

You set on drop in the ocean of my heart

Clearing it of all the sadness

For the first time since I was 9 

I feel full

Like nothing could hurt me 

And even if it did you would be there

That was all that I needed

 

You no longer light the night

I am once again blind

Like Rose in titanic you said you would never let go

But like Rose in titanic you let go

You sent one drop in the ocean of my pain

Filling me with more pain

For the second time since I was 9

I feel empty

Like glass that chips away when you touch it

Having no one to be there

That's all I wanted

 

You lit the night when I was walking blind

I hope I do the same for you

I will never be selfish with you

You know it all

I've laid my heart on the line

And I know that I do 

But you are trusted

Trusted more than anything

 

You no longer light the night

I am once again blind

I realize you would never let me be your light

I was never selfish yet you were

I laid my heart on the line 

So that's my fault

And I know that I do

But I trusted you

I can't anymore

 

You lit the night when I was walking blind

Baby girl I love you 

I know you don't like being called that

Your my queen with a heart of gold 

Your mind is beautiful with dark corners

Your mind is kind but with dark corners

Your mind is loving but with dark corner

And that's ok 

 

You no longer light the night

I am once again blind 

Your not my baby girl anymore

You never liked being called that in the first place

Your not my queen anymore

I guess those dark corners won

 

I plan to be the light to luminate your mind

To make your mind

 only beautiful

Only kind

And only loving

If it's the last thing I do 

I love you

Te amo

Je T'aime

Je T'aime

Je T'aime

More than anything Je T'aime

 

My plan backfired 

Cause now I'm alone again

The false promises linger

And the heart breaks more 

But how that's possible is a mystery 

When the heart is shattered

I still love you

But that has to change I guess
