I watched you paint the night with laughter
Those eyes a twin flame that burned my ever-after.
A first-place ribbon prize I’ll never know
For some stranger your eyes softly glow.
Each word you spoke a siren song
Shattering my boat I\'m strung along.
A fallacy whispered just for me.
A ghost of your love I\'ll never see.
A thief with your attention intertwined
His name a song etched in your mind.
Infatuation I once thought I\'d fill.
Now lies silent cold and still.
Patched my heart scared of romance
Every smile was circumstance.
Unraveled thread in life\'s cruel loom
A fleeting whisper of endless gloom.
The nights are long the silence loud
This broke down heart disavowed.
Rewind false feelings I\'ve spun
In a war that ended never won.
So tonight I stand beneath the moon
Defeated like autumn, winter came too soon.
Its silver light a meager disguise
Frozen tears in my eyes.
I wished on a star with all my might
Stumbled over feelings, I lost the fight.
Heart on my sleeve the final mistake
For some hearts beat just to ache.
