I Shouldn't.

Amidst a wasteland

you danced with me.

You twirled me around

on the caps of the sea.

 

I swore I was flying.

You swore that you loved me.

But I found myself falling

once you started to shove me.

 

You didn't seem phased

by my face growing pale.

You broke all those promises

and decided to bail.

 

I watched you break

and I started to die.

You knew I was wounded

and you watched from nearby.

 

I don't understand

what flipped in your head.

Your actions contradicted

all those things that you said.

 

I know that you know.

There's no way that you couldn't.

I feel like I still love you,

but I know that I shouldn't.

 

Because now you have her.

I'm forced to remain.

My loyalty toward you

is now conducted in vain.

 

Does she swear that she's flying

on the caps of the sea?

Just don't do to her

what you did to me.
