I Have Been Slashed In Half By Love
I thought you would be the best wife
I thought it was the beginning of my life
A sea of passion and bliss for me to dive
But it was like putting my hand in dry bee hive
I was stung and the honey was not enough
I have been slashed in half by love
Chocolate and flowers by the dozen
Only for the relationship to worsen
Despite our safety belts being fastened
We lost control, crushing fast in the first bend
The collision was quite rough
I have been slashed in half by love
We hugged, we kissed, we embraced
Your legs weakened and my heart raced
Ours was the story romance films are based
But now my feelings for you are misplaced
It was all fake, it was all a bluff
I have been slashed in half by love
You lit my world on fire
You sent my blood pressure higher
You were a love monger and me the lonely buyer
Only to discover you are a liar
A crow has transformed out of a dove
I have been slashed in half by love
My heart was locked away, till you came with the key
You took the chains away, and you set me free
But you left my blindfold on and I couldn’t see
Your feelings were shedding, like in fall, a leafy tree
A cold winter and heartbreak is all I have
I have been slashed in half by love
One half wants to commit murder
Should it be me or you I wonder!
Love and death is the same, if you compare harder
The other half will forever regret this blunder
I will see you in hell below, or in heaven above
I have been slashed in half by love
