Sweetest Downfall

This is how love affects our life.

SWEETEST DOWNFALL

I knock at your door, You open it without question.

I make you feel at home. Or so you believe I do it all.

You are happy to have met me, I make things beautiful for you to see.

You know you won’t get wrong, As long as I’ll be with you all along.

I am everywhere, anywhere. As long as you believe, I was there.

You can find me in a grocery store, You can find me in your school.

I am everywhere, anywhere. Sitting on a bench or clad in a sweater.

As long as you have faith, I exist. But my real place is Paris.

I was there when Mom made breakfast. Sulking in a corner when Dad gave you a glance.

I was there when your best friend called you a*****e after lending you his homework.

When your crush smiled at you, I was standing in the nook.

You know I was there sitting in a corner. You like the feeling when I’m there.

I gave you face-splitting grin. I make you believe there’s always a rainbow after the rain.

You believe in me so much that you let me take away your virginity.

You trusted me that you can commit infidelity.

I was the culprit why mother's sacrifice. Why your friends vowed never to be torn apart.

But at times you don’t see me. Even though I’m waving at you already.

I don’t know if you just pretend. Ignoring all the message I send.

You don’t see me when your dad scold you. When beat and shout is all he do.

I was grinning right in front of you, when your best friend teases and hug you out of the blue.

Some can live without getting me involved. Some can’t last a day without me to hold.

Some like me. Some are scared. Some some just give a smoldering stare.

If you look deeper, you’ll find me true. I give you life and all derring-do.

You take the chance when I’m genuine. You know, with me, you’ll always win.

But behold my dear, for I am often fake. You think I’m true for your own sake.

Some just use me to deceive you. If they want a thing or two.

My power is undeniably immense. So enormous, you can’t put in a word.

Once you let me take control, I’ll leave a dent, a mar, a black hole.

I have the power to make or break you. To change the world if you let me so.

When I am true, everything goes well. When I am fake, it’s the hardest thing you could deal.

I can push you in a 50-story building. I can tie your neck with a fatal sling.

Slash your wrist and cut your veins. Make you laugh and cry til you’re insane.

If I interfere, I destroy friendship. If I’m gone, there’s a chaos in a relationship.

I often come with a warning, but you take me in, without questioning.

There are times that you pushed me away. Afraid of what I can do to your day.

Darling, if you want, you can close all doors. But you can’t stop me, there’s always a window.

At times I occur in one blink of the eye. Oftentimes, finding me takes a lifetime.

You know that I bring not only gaiety but also misery, yet you let me pull the wool over your eyes.

Be guided, I’m not everything you need. I don’t last forever, my existence is uncertain.

Don’t do things in my name, for when you’re sober, you’ll regret the day I came.

I apologize for all those sleepless nights. For all the push and pull fights.

You are not my mentor nor my guide. My master is the Goddess, Aphrodite.
