On the Headstone

Don't be a field. A player has fans on a field and that's his motivation.

On the Headstone

Her only misdemeanour

To misconstrue lust as love

The falcon flee from the falconer

But none had foreseen the red line

In the filter of luxuriance

Her heart whacko in love in half

Because desires weren’t mutual

Thus frequency in fights

Past every barrier past a period

It was go big or home break a heart

He could see the glitter of the prize

Past the holes he’d already curved in her heart

The mesmerising beauty blinded him

Why he never saw agony

And what we don’t see isn’t there

He called for her last journey

A system shutdown

That’s when he got to know

The weakness in his hands

And was his felony

But one forsaken

A heartbreak was a crime record
