The Aspect Of Oblivion

Foolish For You

He told me he loved me,

then he said he wasn't sure.

I thought love was easy,

and that it's always pure.

I watched the waves wash ashore.

— You didn't care anymore. —

It hurt like broken melodies in a heartbreaking song,

and what was worse, my love was just as strong.

I felt the earth crumble.

I heard the walls tremble.

And all I saw was darkness,

calling out with solemn coldness.

I felt fear, anger, and pain.

I could've sworn it drove me insane.

And ever so suddenly, I fell,

 slipping into the depths of anxiety,

with literally no one by me.

Whenever I stood up,

you pushed me back down.

And your love,

your love was a drug,

one that planted my sadness,

And fed my madness.

Night by night,

it'll kill just right,

while I've waited and waited,

for a love that won't turn into something I've hated.

And as time spoke so fluently upon the distance between our bare hands,

you managed to sync into the space our hearts portrayed & onto the forgotten sands.

You watched the waves wash ashore.

While I?

— I didn't care anymore. —
