the book of love

I thought that we were "once upon a time"
"forever" cliche,s sprang to mind
but it was just your light that blinded me
so well rehearsed you knew exactly how id feel

your script had hold of me right off
and it took time to realise
my face mirrored in so many other souls
left in the devastation of your wake

and i was left adrift between the lines
somewhere along in the book of love
and i cant stand to read again
so i guess i,ll just close the book

The subtle changes way over my head
turned into stuttering rambling prose
with jagged edges that didnt flow
just cut me up and cut me down

just one of the other characters
you never meant me to play the lead
sidelined to just a bit part
till it was time to leave the page

and i was left adrift between the lines      
somewhere along in the book of love
and i cant stand the pain to read again
so i guess i,ll just close the book
