I Should Have Known

I couldn't have known it would come to this that love would end with the sweep of a kiss that tears would stain the dreams we shared that mere fantasies would have us ensnared and parting lips would forget real bliss, but I should have known it would come to this. I couldn't have known how my heart would break how my life would be spent in the breaths you'd take that empty arms would be emptier still as words formed promises you'd never fill and I'd be a fool for passion's sake, but I should have known how my heart would break. I couldn't have known you would say goodbye that our love would be swallowed in a lie that my soul would ache for desires we'd known holding fast to the memories of love you'd shown and that all I could do was sit and cry, but I should have known you would say goodbye.
