You Were My Last
You Were My Last
You trapped me in your arena
Tied my strings like a puppet
But I held my secret
Silenced my conscience
While you took the stage
Buried in roses
I was buried in the ashes
I clung to a vision
A mirage of expectation
With your deception
You made it an endless drain
I thought it to be my first
A chance of love
Yet the cards of fate
Turned far too late
I wanted it to be us
But it’d just hurt me if it was
The poison in disguise
Were those little white lies
Those eyes were once
My seal of fate
But now I can’t meet them
Without a tang of hate
I let you inside my walls
Only for my fortress fall
Into to your hall of mirrors
So your voice echoes
In my head
When will I break
These chains of memory
This bubbling hatred
Rooted in false hopes
Of two paths that were never meant
To cross in this lifetime
You held that last stone
Smiled as though
It wouldn’t penetrate
My own soul
