The Other Person

I thought I couldn’t bear to lose anyone else in my life,
I didn’t want to feel the pain of knowing that someone who once held a room in my heart was no longer living in it, dead or alive.

I’d been all too familiar with the biting cold everytime I lost someone I held dear, it was like a shadow that followed me around waiting for the darkness to creep in, but I always stayed by the light.

I didn’t want to lose again, yet the first thought that skittered into my mind as we bumped shoulders for the first time on the busy street, was how much I never wanted anything to do with you, how I was willing to call in the darkness in the shadows to swallow you away.

I should have known you were trouble when you gave me shivers on a sunny day.
Pure evil is your very display. The power to trick me into believing you were perfect and can only be perfect with me.

Laying me down on a bed of a thousand roses, i was blinded by the vastness of your “love” that I forgot that roses bore thorns, till it pierced into me trapping me in an illusion that the pain is the past trying to fight me.
And when it got worse, you claimed that it was the future trying to be set free.

O! Sweet darkness come and take me
Cause even hell is better than this lucid dreams I’m trapped in.
O! Heavens, can you cave in?
Can you send your best angels to smite me?
For only in death will i escape him,
He’s completely broken me and I’ve become who he wants me to be, I’ve become him.
I’d give anything to go back to the day we touched lips and i drank in your lies along with your soul reapers kiss.
If only i could have been earlier or later,
You’d have bumped into another.
