you've always been the main character
and I'm just the understudy
of your romance
usually I know the difference between sugar and salt,
but when I met you,
I suddenly forget everything I've learned.
i softly touch the bruises you've left on my heart
wondering how often you'll hit me again.
you had your cigarette, burnt.
your worries as well.
and what I suddenly learnt,
you were sent right of hell.
you
no longer needed.
me
no longer need.
but still we keep telling lies.
you still don't know it,
but every night before falling asleep,
I fear the morning.
i hate nothing more than waking up next to a
blank space filled with nothing but memories.
I don't know what I want
but you neither
which makes everything worse.
you must be addicted to gambling
'cause you play with my hair
you play from the start.
say, it doesn't matter
living apart.
but your lips keep close
and so does your heart.
every snowflake falling on my lips
reminds me of your cold words melting on my heart
every time I close my eyes
i See your image floating
a too well-known stranger
deciding to haunt me.
