It was a rollercoaster
Waking up daily alone
Laying my body next to myself
With only bones to console
Having conversations with myself
Trying to convince this stranger
That I can call anywhere home
This depression is a test of faith
Now that I’m left to roam
You forced my hand
But my wings still grow
It’s become apparent
I need rescuing
Don’t approach me
Unless it’s with spiritual healing
I’m finished willing and dealing
With a narcissist
The one who poured the flame from his gas light
Said it could get us through the tough times
Fast track to my current state
I see the reflection in the mirror
Yet I can hardly relate
I loved you beyond comprehension
You were my soulmate
A decade of introverted passion
What I felt for you surpassed any worldly match
Unfortunately the Universe had other plans
God placed you as an obstacle on my path
Gave me the free will to pick up the pieces from my past
Two kids convinced we held all the answers to cupid’s secrets
We were so wrong
I did everything to make it work
Even sacrificed my worth
I let you shine like the king my heart aspired
Who knew it’d end like this
Fire on fire.
