Karma Twisted

Who am I to you? I love you No longer my fried Our bond is a broken glass we can’t mend This could possibly be the end A broken faith in you snaps from within When you’re not lying in my arms You say you feel obligated to be there with him Spare his feelings to obliterate mine In trading that broken home for ours Too blind to see the harm You overlooked my witty charm Favoring his dim-witted presence Out the door into his arms There you go We can settle down and say ‘I do’ We’ll get back to being me and you You’ll stop treating me like you do And someday you will choose Making me pay my dues Now I’m waiting for fairy tales to come true Dreams of ‘Happy Ever After’ I’m taunted by the burdens I choose And wallowing in broken dreams Inside your wicked lies A sense of longing derives To where our memories lie Looking up through tear soaked eyes While my child grows inside Strumming your fingers across the wall I imagine you on the other side And intrinsic insanity leads me on It rips my heart through and through Tormented by this endless pursuit Separating me and you At night I lay against the wall Our apartment split in two By a life-altering war raging on My love was thrown in the trash Karma has twisted my dreams so fast For my cruel and heartless past I wonder if this is the punishment I deserve A love that was never destined to last Fate led my heart here I love you Who am I to you?
