False Love

Story


1 I used to find peace in the colour of your eyes.

2  in the gleam that shone through my soul;

3  the perfect shade of a chestnut —

4  warm and fierce, used to call them home. 

 

5  In the way your hands have lingered,

6 lightly, yet with unassailable compassion.

7  Oh, how you promised to stay and

8 how I desired to be your forever companion. 


9 You promised the world, and I was drunk on your words,

10 entangled in this perfect mess that we were —

11  yet now the image of us is distorted,

12  and your face is nothing but a blur.


13  You’re slipping away now,

14  our memories slowly fading.

15  By the end, there’ll be nothing left of us,

16  and finally, my heart will have stopped

17  aching.
