You burned the lamp no one ever could,
Gave me the warmth I never asked for,
The cure to my scars i thought you was,only to leave me alone evermore,
And I once thought 'a serendipity it was seeing you again',
But now I only curse my existence,
Curse the one whose cheeks turned scarlet the reason was you,
Cursed the days when ur eyes met mine,only to haunt my nights,
My tears glistening more than my smile,
Every night,my bones aching my back's hurting,
The autumn leaves falling,the leaves are growing,
The time's spilling,
But I'm still in those crude substitutions you used against me,
The onyx nights are still there,
Now I despise you more than you ever could,
And they say 'men masqueraded',I guess it's true,
Your sweet charm i overlook as disposition turned out to be an illusion,
Once an utopia, turned out to be hell,
The castle crumbled I buit for years,in an instant in a glimpse,
For the days we'll be dancing with our hands tied,
The girls' cedar one now withered,
Waiting for the dawn but the night has not gone,
And the warmth you gave you took it all.......
