0nce up0n a time . . .

Once upon a time
we spoke as if we'd be together forever
and grew so attached that it seemed hard to believe
I used to fret
that there was too much happiness
and sadness was around the corner

and now we can't even look each other in the eyes
i remember the times we used to sway together,
so in love . . . we'd stare at each other forgetting about the rest of the world
floating on our own axis
now i have no choice
I wake up without you, and I'm forced to breathe without you

so now i wake up in the middle of the night
and regret our decision, to break away....
our decision to kill our love, behead it, murder it
