Lovers' Grave

Lover's Grave
It started this way,
Before laying to rest in Lover's Grave,
It was sweet, fun and pure in them halcyon days
We sparkled in beige
Gave morons our rage
Made love at half time
Whilst watching the game
Oh it was so good
We fell amateurishly in love
Hopelessly twisted together
A new march, a new drum
I worshipped you
But knew to give space
I wanted your every second
Whilst not all up in your face
The same principles we shared and on these we would talk, our bond  tightening tourniquet
Respect and love bled so strong
Then time moved on
your voice grew coarse
laughter seemed hollow
And somewhat forced
Your moans had no soul
No passionate explode
Hands shying away, as if threatened or told.
Only my love remained
And I didn't know why,
I could hear the shower running, to cover you cry
I wanted to save you
I wanted to die
I had become a good friend as we drifted apart, I hadnt become the one for your heart
He had
It started as friends, and it suddenly grew
Coffee breaks were noisy
What about a drink - just us two?
A casual beginning
Returning later in the night
You had no guts to tell me
You couldn't bare the fight
A slow death was mine
I'd prefer you quickly took hope
Not tightening the noose
Not allowing more rope
As time makes the tree grow
More seconds to think falling
Falling and falling
To over think the blow
But it ended
Walking the house alone
Screaming, shouting, howling,
Picking up a silent phone
Drinking for countless days
Smoking green and sniffing white,
Not allowing friends in
As I'd given up the fight
The months did pass with sadness as they say that time will help
I am a changed man now
I am my constant angry self
In work I'm so hung over,
And I barely even care
On the way to work a stranger quipped I looked a mess
And to go and brush my hair
So I engaged
Who the fuck do you think you are
You do not know my year
Month or day
That my true loves heart did not want mine
And you don't know my fucking pain
You have no idea what life feels like now and you don't see me cry with rage
You know nothing of what is my life
So shut your mouth - get out my fucking way.
And he did
That was a better day than in a long time.
