Love Tomb

 I had been a dreamer, a romantic lover 

Weaving stories and fairytales. 

You came along like a summer song 

And gifted me tinted glasses. 

I didn't remember in a love-drunk autumn 

That winter wasn't far away. 

Glasses broken, cold shivers running. 

I wait for warmth in the winter sun 

But you ghosted me on a cold night instead.

How many more hearts will you destroy 

How many more trusts will you burn, boy?

Dreams shattered, heart scattered, mind battered, 

Girl, wipe your tears and rise.

You now know better than to trust him 

That walking red flag! 

Sweet talker, charmer, scammer

Fake promises, white lies 

I don't know how blind I was 

Perhaps I can't see the Red 

Or am I attracted to toxic traits?

Winter wasn't far away

But you left me without a blanket.

Here I am, quilting my own

Here I am, warm and alone

I see you burn many more homes

But I know mine is unreachable,

For now, I know

My love for you is just a tomb.

No more burnings, ashes and urns 

The next one is the best to come 

I read love stories, hear the music 

And there he comes like a perfect ruin 

He has his scars, and I have mine, but

Together, we will fix it all 

Love is blind, but chances are that 

We make it through this one.

For my love now is 

The rose in the thorns 

Build upon your love tomb.

But let me ask you one last time, 

How many more hearts will you destroy?

Oh, how many trusts will you burn, boy?
