Left In Ruin

About dating someone who you know wasn't right for you, yet trying to hold to the idea of love, rather than the person

I suppose I was in love

Not with the person but the idea

She's magnificent

Glimmering like gold

She's like a diamond

Beautiful but cold

Our words were limited

And soon our differences showed

All of her overwhelming flaws

My mistake to let them go 

She's the guilty party

Yet I feel the shame

One heart left to ruin

The other neglects the blame

I knew it was doomed to die

But maybe I could alter time

She's malicious

Or just dispassionate

She's like the others

But I fell into the trap

Nothing of substance

Maybe it never existed at all

But I'd have flown like Icarus

For her, the angels would fall

She's the guilty party

Yet I feel the shame

One heart left to ruin

The other neglects the blame
