Bull's Eye

Bull's Eye

I was in love,

When you first walked by.

Aimed my future towards yours,

Bull's eye.

Changed everything I knew,

I lived as a spy.

I wanted to tell you how I felt

But I was too shy.

Then six years later,

Bull's eye. 

Selling my camera,

I was barely scraping by.

Log onto Facebook,

********* ********* has sent you a reply.

This is my last chance,

Bull's eye.

 

Ridge Motorway, 2 years ago,

Underneath the night sky,

Leaned in for the kiss,

My stomach in knotts I can't untie.

You finally see me.

Bull's eye.

Every moment with you 

Sober, but high.

I'd do anything for you

Even gravity I'd defy.

You echoed when I said "I love you."

Bull's eye.

A month hadn't passed

When you told your first lie. 

Looked me in the face,

Not a studder, not a cry. 

Never felt so alive,

Even though I wanted to die. 

So I did the worst to myself,

I stayed nearby. 

That part really hurt,

Bull's eye. 

So here I am again,

Living like a spy.

This won't last long, 

Because the end is nigh.

Then on your 21st birthday

I walked in on you with another guy.

Your lips on his neck,

His hand on your thigh.

This was an image

That I couldn't deny.

I knocked on the right door,

Bull's eye. 

Now they all think you're beautiful,

Mistake you for a butterfly.

But you're just a rhino beetle,

No, a spanish fly. 

But I still saw you the next day

Let you say your own goodbye.

"I messed up real bad,

That I admit.

But you don't know what you have

until you lose it. 

So now I'm ready,

Now I can commit."

Bull s**t.

I really loved the last stanza, so deep and personal. I like reading this
