Park benches and roses red,
Oversized clothes, an unmade bed,
Long walks on the beach hand in hand.
The edge of the cliff where we stand,
Looking at each other's souls.
In the books these are life goals.
Beautiful views and a sunny long drive,
Lovely dreams for which we strive.
Together we walked and came so far,
Our love guides us like the north star.
A rush of feelings and we come close,
Lips about to meet and time slows,
An inch from the kiss I'm startled awake,
The world reminds me of a beautiful mistake.
You and your love have both vamoosed!
A void fills my heart, my soul feeling used.
Moments and flashes is all I can see,
That first date, that cup of coffee,
Touching my lips, no taste of you;
This feeling so ugly, this emptiness so new.
It's still an unmade bed, but there's just me,
Tears and emotions now flowing free,
The clothes are still large but these are mine.
And then I think, "Maybe it's a sign!"
It was just a dream and now I can feel,
The painful difference between real and reel,
Realising it's time to break the curse,
One by one I severe the ties that bind us.
First go the heels that you used to love,
Back are my shoes which we're never enough.
Next are the shackles you chained to my feet,
Spreading my wings I'm feeling complete.
The sky is my home and in it I'll soar,
You wait and watch out for what I've got in store.
For sweet revenge, that's coming your way
Prepare yourself for bullets to ricochet.
A blink of an eye and you'll be overthrown
Before messing with me you should have known.
I'm not someone you should aggravate.
Remember, "A fallen angel is the devil's playmate".
