we were so in love;
some said it was a match made in heaven.
you were infatuated with me
as i was devoted to you.
but tell me,
when did your love for me fall apart?
did it slip away like a thief in the night?
sail away on a boat?
your execution was swift
like a sharp blade
impaling my soft skin.
i said i've always liked the color red,
but not how it looked
staining my favorite shirt.
