HOW WE GOT HERE

Now there is laughter,
And fun,
And poetry.
The light in our eyes tells it all.
Cupid is pulling strings,
And nothing else matters.
It's that time
When questions are answered with kisses,
And whispered 'I love you's,
And for now, it's okay.
Your every move is faultless,
Your every word, sacred.
And love,
And life,
Can't get any better.

Now tomorrow is today,
And we do not know us.
Laughter is in tears,
Fun is suffering,
Poetry curses.
The look in our eyes says it all.
Cupid has left us hanging,
And now, everything matters.
It's that time
When every answer leaves suspicion,
And doubt,
And now, there's no way.
Our words are poisoned arrows,
Our actions vicious blades,
And love,
And life,
Are dead to us.

And so now,
Though we fight it,
Each second brings us closer
To the day we ask the question,
'What went wrong'.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID FOREVER

She came by my way the other day
To rub it in my face again.
I had no words for her,
She'd made me no promises.
The hands and eyes I held that day,
They were yours.
The vows we mabe that day,
They were ours.
So correct me if I'm wrong,
But I thought you said forever.

They say I have it good,
'At least he keeps it outside the door.'
But I'd never wished to settle for less,
To ever compromise, forget myself,
To be the first, but not the only.
This heart's been bruised so many times,
But now, your silence rips it out,
Makes a mockery of our shared lives.
So, pray tell, I might be wrong,
Because, that bright October morn,
I thought you said forever.
