Love,
It can sweep you off your feet
Make you feel like you’re on cloud nine
Those sweet memories never fades away
But when it’s all over You get the feeling that
It was all just a dream
Your meaning of love was different
For him it was merely an infatuation
Without any affection
That’s all just nonsense
An illusion you created in your head
To form a better version of him
Drowned in your misery
It starts confusion, you swear it’s love
You think it’s happiness
Well, you are wrong
Your mind feels trapped
How much better you felt when he was around
Now you twist and turn through lonely nights
You crave for his attention
Looking for ways to console your heart
You reek of desperation and chaos
Only thinking of yourself
You hear whispers of dark spells
Tempted to invite trouble
You play with danger
Yet you’re smiling
Because he’s become all yours, without a choice
Driven by madness
You’ve stripped him off his sanity
His body grows paler and colder by the minute
All trace of humanity vanishes before your eyes
Nothing but a living corpse
Wrapping him in your arms
You sigh of relief
Knowing you possess his mind, soul, and heart
Yet you’re a fool to think this was love.
