A Lie of [Love]

By Miztaken4beauty

Standing on the edge of a double sided blade,
Will we strike the match anew, or let the memory fade?
Dancing to music that no one else can hear,
Will you pull me closer, or simply disappear?

My Judgment feels so clouded, but I guess it will suffice
Is it easier to break a heart if it’s encased in ice?

Walking through the shadows, is it still too late?
Will we blame our memories for another wicked state?
Electric jolts of desire still burn the very air.
Do we hide the truth, do we really even care?

Fight the power
Fight the system
Midnight hour,
Who will listen?
Caress the skin,
Black the eyes,
Deep within,
I’m not surprised.
Another day,
Another game,
Run away,
Stay the same.
Make me smile,
Make me cry,
Stay a while,
Chase the sky.

And when the door slams shut at dawn,
I lay awake, I know you’re gone.
An Emotionless girl never stood a chance,
An actress in your tragic Romance.

We try to make it better, but it always falls apart.
So now we plan to end it from the bitter start.

How deeply has this role been cast?
How much longer can this possibly last?
And when our time must draw to an end,
Will we be the same again?
