Killed the Romance

Tales of a Failed Love

By Abi Rose TravisPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

In my dreams there's no fear

Everything is perfectly clear

you and me

seemed like a perfect fantasy

but then your voice makes me shake

so violently that I'm jolted awake

I lose track of how many times I've cried

No one should have to live with Jekyll and Hyde

But I've never known how to quit

Even on people who treat me like shit

You never could learn a lesson

or take a dose of your own fucking medicine

You ask what's wrong, when you already know

Tear stains on my face from the lies you've told

Your eyes are like a black hole

pulling me in while killing my soul

Your arms around me and I'm caught in time

never free to speak my mind

Your temper like lightning, unsure where it will strike

Your kisses like poison, I was unable to fight

But this life, it isn't my style

I wasn't prepared to raise someone else's child

You had your chance

but instead

you killed the romance

heartbreak
