Love Rocks and Such Things

There was a time when you captivated my heart

Where the trees were ripe for us, and the air was warm and still

You held me in a place where I couldn't see, but I could feel.

And for a while, it felt okay, I was still alive, and that was what mattered most.

My feelings were strong, but there was always something telling me to look beyond this infatuation

It was something I thought was love, but there was something wrong.

And when my mask came off, I saw the man behind the curtain, and I realized that this fairytale was a mere fabrication

It was a falsified version of our lives

Things were well and nice on the outside,

But on the inside burned brilliant the flames of disfunction

I fell for a lie, and I fell hard

and when I tried to get up on my own

the puppeteer pulled my strings till I was weary and weak

And I realized quick that there is not a life so bleak

than a life that is lived by a lie

So I crossed my fingers and tapped my heals thrice

And I came to realize that my life was so nice

When my mind was not captivated by your lies

heart rocks from a single hike
