A Collection Of Life

Saving Your Crown

I have never loved

And probably never will

My tears are my drug

The pain, a pill

I sleep in regret

My pillow so cold

I remember you slept

All sheathed in gold

On your pedestal so high

You could almost touch the clouds

But your innocence and ignorance

Brought your pride tumbling down

You couldn't even handle

The thought of feelings

So you tied them down

Until I had thought you were dealing

But you were a fake

And your doubt had you drowned

So you held onto me

For the sake of your crown

In doing so, to my soul

You made a grave mistake

One that takes a toll

To this very day

Instead of a prolonging

My heart's desire

You taught me to cheat

Until I had lost my ire

But you should've known

That hate doesn't disappear

It only kindles and grows

And transforms into fear

And now, I steal like a thug

On a night so still

Because I keep, I have never loved

And therefore, never will.
