Freelance Romance

I saw the universe inside your eyes,
missing the self loathing that was within;
Ignoring my past and what had just been; 
Flames expelling carbon monoxide highs
replenishing the hit as my bruise dies;
At the start of euphoria all in 
then you feel the smile dissipate again;
Lying in bed reduced to battle cries; 

Not receiving the message that this sends;
So many words and now we are strangers;
Lusty looks are now just a passing glance; 
Again? I already know how this ends;
Wanting a timeless song not just bangers;
Stuck in a cycle of freelance romance.
