When Love Hits Rock Bottom

Confession turned to confusion
Words turned to wounds
Friends to fiends,
Sheep to wolves, doves to ravens
When love hits rock bottom

Hugs turned to hurt
Pain to my ones gain
Fame to shame,
 Sheep to wolves, doves to ravens
When love hits rock bottom

When merry is spelt with an I 
Instead of a, for all
When us vanishes to I
Light into darkness it’s like
When love hits rock bottom

Wonder where the pain 
Went when I fell in love,
Why my vision got blur.
Now I don’t just feel but see it,
When love hits rock bottom.

Cupid I won’t blame
Stupid I is to put to shame.
A lame heart is what 
I will take back to my hut 
When love hits rock bottom

Heartache

Heartache after heartache
Heart break after heart break
Feels like the waves break
Wave after wave

Thought I was the crest on the mount
Just to find out, am the crest of the wave that’s bout
To break.
Shuttered is my heart, hurt is my soul
Feels like the waves break 
Wave after wave

Companion!? , thought had i
Didn’t know I was just fit for the eye
Used or loved, used I feel,
Can’t eat to my fill
Cause its wave after wave

The pillow my closest companion
Tears running down my face, my
Best sensation, liquor my
Favorite meal, I am drowning
Cause it’s like wave after wave

Never thought you will get under my skin
You went further and become my kin
Like most of them, A wolf in sheep skin
Am not elastic, don’t stretch, I too break
Like wave after wave

My heart feels like broken china covered in glue
Am left to wonder if you have a clue
That you left behind a great flu
When you dropped it and flew into the blue
The pain swipes me like wave after wave
