“To an End”

Slowly you stirred your coffee from black

Your radiance shining from beneath soul cracks

Your eyes pulling, begging me to come in

Your kisses falling on my lips again and again

Such a love I thought I’d never know

Such a lover I would never let go

Something meaningless just had to come

From the way you wickedly smiled

While you recklessly played with my gun

I knew that this was just too much fun

The record faltered, it skipped a beat

I was left standing alone in the cold street

And so now you’re gone, the fun is yesterday

I’m left unsorted and in disarray

I do not know what love means anymore

I came to see you and you slammed the door

Flowers left abandoned in my hand

Dreams chased out to never land

Slowly you stirred your coffee from black

You smiled even as you sealed the cracks

Your eyes drew me fatally further within

Even as you knew you would put me to an end

I had put my heart upon your plate

You carved it neatly and fully ate

Now my heart and soul are completely gone

Consumed by you even though I tasted wrong

I do not know what love means anymore

I came to see you and you slammed the door

Flowers left abandoned in my hand

Dreams chased out to never land

You pulled me in, and then put me to an end

You pulled me in, and then put me to an end

I do not know what love means anymore

I came to see you and you slammed the door
