When the smile doesn’t quite reach your eyes,
and your heart feels like its been buried beneath a ton of heavy stones,
each one pressing against it, adding on to ache that throbs incessantly.
When words exchanged slice through like a knife of a butchers’ on meat,
and you never knew either one of you were capable of such spiteful ways,
till its too late.
When you think its all over, that you can just pick up the broken pieces and walk away, casting no shadow on the cursed past.
You forget the foot prints, a constant reminder of the past you try so hard to leave behind.
When you are so sure it’s all in the mind, that you’re in control of every thought that threatens to enter your already clouded head,
You forget your heart leads its own life, leading you down a path where impulse rules and undesired feelings overcome righteousness.
And suddenly everything that was within reach is taken away cruelly, for your heart has won the constant war again.
When you know everything is tainted and an air of doubt lurks at every corner.
When deceit and truth are one and the same.
Recognize that it’s too late, a situation impossible to salvage,
and there is no point holding on to something that was never yours to begin with in the first place.
When everything dawns on you, each time more clear than the first,
you wonder why you keep singing the same tune over and over again.
Everyone’s tired of hearing it, you should be too.
Maybe you’re just so used to feeling this way, it’s become a part of you.
You’re ruled by the all too familiar feeling of resentment and a keen desire for vengeance.
When you’re left feeling drained, desperate to rid yourself off the nagging thoughts that invade your mind when least expected,
While you attempt to pass up on the sweet dish called revenge,
Know that you're not alone.. For I stand exactly where you are now.
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of..
