Reflections

We were two love birds
Flying on love's golden wings
I flip and you flap, you flap and I flip
We played our strings against the wind...

We were two eyes burning suns
We saw the light together
You peek and I peep, I peek and you peep
We envisioned our own forever...

Now we are just two birds of prey
Hunting down suffocating emotions
I frown and you sulk, we became stuck in our frowns
Two parallel trajectories, with no point of intersection...

Love has gone to sleep
While we played the game of thrones...

From a garden of beautiful roses
How did love come to be overthrown...?
