Disenchanted
Disenchanted
Did she love him?
Eyes as bright as the moonlight she slipped away in
Laugh as dark as the world she lived in
Her lips
They were the softest he'd ever touched
But her tongue was dipped in poison
And he's still struggling to breath
She spoke in poems that made his heart beat faster
Her skin was painted with art
Some of her own creation
She was his own personal masterpiece
Her mind was made of galaxies
We'd never understand
Rivers flowed through her veins
She sometimes let drip
Daisies grew in her stomach
She drowned them when she couldn't smile anymore
She's a mystery he still struggles to understand
She's been drowning for a while now
But he didn't know how to swim
Her screams and threats still sound angelic
Despite the demonic in her motive
She used to tell him 'love will kill you slowly."
And he always replied with "Then i guess you'll be the death of me."
Did she love him? She swore that she did
But he saw how she looked and kissed those other men
Making their tongues tie in amazement
At the rhythm she spoke in
The way she fingered their messages
Like she used to do for him
Some say the only man she loved is Jack Daniels
She's been gone for going on two years now
But only God knows when she decided to check out
She still loves the way his heart breaks
With every injustice and deadly fate
She was his sun and stars
But lately she's been bringing more shadow than light
Her skin still burns to touch
Now all he has is the fading whispers of 'please' and this lingering regret
And he tries to recall
The words she etched into his lungs
He tries to remember
Did she love him?
