like a dream once
dreamtlike a sailor once
sailedlike the heart once attached
you ripped it in halflike a paper once
crushedlike a gun once fired
you took my heart because it was up for hirebut how could you?
you knew i knew no better
because like that dream once dreamt
and the sailor once sailed
and the paper once crushed
and the gun once fired
i forgot you were still a lair
