Chapter 19 - Melancholy glisten.

We met in a different lifetime

I thought I was the man of your dreams.

You were everything I could want,

And I was everything you could need.

-

Now, every time I wake up

I find myself at your front door...

Falling back into that nightmare

Where you don't love me anymore...

-

Where you don't love the way I smile.

Where you no longer need my core...

In that dark place below the surface

Where the light cannot explore...

-

And I was knocking day and night

For all those days, and months, and years...

You never let me in

More like a friend

Just confirming a lot of my fears...

-

When I had first saw you, I tried to keep walking.

My heart tried to warn me, but I never listen...

I tried to avoid you, did not feel like talking.

I was drawn to your pain...a melancholy glisten...

-

Now I feel so numb.

So numb.

So numb.

Where that furnace used to be...

I've never felt so dumb.

So dumb.

So dumb.

A statue carved so vividly...

-

We met on a different timeline.

And I thought I was everything you could ever want...

Never needed to flaunt

My love for you.

No...I never intended to daunt.

-

Now I dream of chasing your shadow 

Right back to your front door...

Trying to find a new beginning,

That feeling

That I had way back then, before.

-

Before all the trauma...

The damage...

The sorrow...

Before, when I had much more patience to borrow...

Back before I lost all of the essence of me...

Before loneliness gave way to new misery...

Back before you...

Back before we...

Back when my spark brought me 

New clarity...

Back before...
