Burnt Essences [A Story of Stale Love]

Breaking Waves and Plastic Bags

_______________
√

It's funny really.
The person you left me for.
He has a thing for newer things.
And I have seen it all before.

So he talked to you and lured you in.
For me a Loss, for him a Win.
But I was not alone at the losing end.
Girl, won't you hear me out once more?

To me you were the Divine rift.
A power from God, a throbbing Gift.
But to him you are a plastic bag,
From your head, his hand he'll lift.

To me you were the Breaking Wave,
A force I learnt to love to my grave,
A current so Beautiful, it rippled forth,
I can't explain the peace it gave..

•

But To him you are but a lace,
Degrading at a steady pace,
And though you must realize by now,
What a person is, with a dual face.

That for him you left Me by your will.
But to a girl he says he's single still?
He may have You, but not his fill,
He devoured you first, devours others still.

But slowly now.

I guess I've moved on from you,
Haha its unbelievable really, but true.
I miss our times, and memories, and games.
But I guess I've started my life anew.

~
Although you're bad at keeping hearts,
Even worse at keeping promises.
I know you've broken every condition,
How would you know what being honest is.

.
So now to me you're a flipped little page,
You were once the brightest on stage,
But off to the top shelf you go, hon.
I'm destroying your little cage.

'
Goodbye, my friend, may you survive,
You said you're ready for what's to arrive,
So what you deserve shall soon come by,
Off you go. Off you fly.

.
And I shall retreat back to my den.
But I'll sleep peacefully I wonder when.
God has a better plan, dear friend.
And I am willing to wait till then.

It's funny, really.
How it all changed for Us.
But somehow I think it'll all work out,
And I'm willing to wait till then
