is it cliché to say
my happiness is a mere illusion
a ruse meant to confuse
is it a personified facade
only the tests of time
will reveal your true intent
your majestic tragedy, I must circumvent
yet I love you all the same
but I cannot shake
this feeling that keeps me awake
how much can I take
a ponder that leaves me upon a stake
miss, make not the combination
but I do desire to do just that
at least when regarding heartbreak
but your spell has a vice grip
upon my weary heart
perhaps it all ends with you
a shame it didn’t start
excuse any momentary dew
reveal to me the damnation that awaits
I am all but too used to agony
lay me out amongst your dinner plates
may my being be what sates
all I ask is to know
whether or not the seeds I sow
have allowed you to truly
love me in earnest and fulfill me
if the answer is negligent
perhaps I am not meant for love
in such a case, may we face a horrid ballad
one that entangles us both in despair
until you undo your illusion upon me
we both shall never be free
though, my ilk is used to the comfort
of lack there of with the sort
May your love strike true
May it break my love-sick flu
May it shatter my reality anew
May it bring me to the shores of you
