I do not think you know,  

The way this should go. 

You pushed me right through the line,

No safety net, no one to catch me in time.

  

I tripped and fell into your arms,  

Believing in our love,

Believing I would be safe there,  

Every single time.  

I showed you,  

Yet you failed to see, 

That truth and love are the central parts of me.  

Never knowing where we started,

You picked those moments of confusion,

and poison arrows you launched,

as you quickly departed.

I showed you how I stopped,

when I hit the wall you sent me speeding towards,

you created the nightmares, the monsters that pulled me under. 

All your lies, 

All your games, 

All the lost time, 

Replaced with pain.

 

What you needed to see, 

Never could you break me. 

I am a man without delusion, 

I am a soul of much confusion. 

The honesty we’ve lost, 

Left me unhinged, 

Nero with his fiddle

and Peter with his pipes

We flew so close to the sun.  

My heart is left singed. 

yet I’m still swayed by your cacophony of calliopes,

and their hopeful, wistful callings.

All your demons,  

They were the best,

Through your actions,  

I’ve been blessed. 

I kept our love with me every day, 

The bracelet, your proclamation,  

 I carry with me in my pocket.  

But your heart,

And your love,

You chose to lock it,

Away from our future.

When you and I went our separate ways, 

I was left to wander, to roam, lost all these many days. 

You abandoned me to fall in this hopeless pit.  

As you drew your sword,  

And stabbed me a thousand times,  

Dripping with my own blood,  

I stood erect and kept smiling. 

I did not need to know how to stop, 

Nor did I need to know how to start. 

With each beat,  

With each step, 

and with my very last breath,

I always follow my heart. 

All my lines, 

All my games, 

What we should have seen, 

All the love in between, 

It has always been. 

You want my list of complaints, 

it is here, that attitude that haunts, 

the darkest poison of one soul, 

I watched you lose all control. 

No matter how hard I loved, 

You never seem to rise above.

I am still,

standing here. 

Looking both ways through this mirror.  

And nothing neither then nor now ever gets clearer.
