6. lol

we were living on lies, now we're loving our last

a lullaby of lament to justify the past

a lantern of light that once lit my path

dimmed down to a dullness forever cast

 

haha, point and laugh

at me and my once appointed half

who is now just a memory

who pulled the punchline to please the crowd

i only hope is now laughing out loud

at our heartbroken misery

 

we were loving our life with layers of laughter

our language of lust couldn't sustain us enraptured

we thought this ever since would be forever after

not the beginning of a book, but the end of a chapter

 

hoho, they fell for the joke

lines they wish they never spoke

but can't be erased from memory

a little old loss that only we miss

our lips only lied with every kiss

with all that wasted energy

 

this affection only labels us as lazy or lightheaded

from this liquor of l'amour, an intoxication embedded

in our hearts, not our heads, we never should have said it

it wasn't lovely or lively so don't give it too much credit

 

heehee, young lovers need

a lesson in reality

or they're doomed to repeat history

was it truly that cruel of a prank?

the lesson was learned, we should be thanked

for now love's not a mystery
