Myriad

We were so close to the beginning, but we ended yet again...

Myriad
headoverheart

That day was filled with emptiness
You left without a word and it added ages to my already somber facade
I was anxious, agitated, mad even
Just when you are about to bring life to my perturbed heart,
You’ll drain it of the last drops of colorless blood it had

That morning was your offered piece of shame
The last that you resist to take
Despite your perfectly feigned indifference
Your efforts did not go unnoticed
Your eyes never lied to me
They simply can’t
I have to acknowledge your consistency though
You were so good at lying you even believed it yourself
But I’m no soldier of yours you can order around

The sun was at its peak and so was our anger
I was furiously speaking for myself and you were so not listening to me
You said you were no longer defending yourself
I laughed
then you threw knives with your glares
And then I realized you misinterpreted me again
I never accused you of anything

The dawn is fast approaching and it already feels like the end
The dispute was settled with nothing but cold hearts to pursue
Extremes:
The mercury is rising within our freezing hearts
Ironic
Us-
I’m brooding over a lovesick idealist’s departure
I’m sorry

Night
Dark
Silence
The perfect setting for the infamous goodbye
Ours had been a tragic one
You almost saved me
I almost took you
If only I was strong enough to carry you and you were faithful enough to be carried through.
