Titanic

Great stature, enormous strength; huge, colossal the way my heart exploded so many different ways to express it Does anyone hear the sound a heart Makes when it breaks Even continents away Did she hear it? The only one that mattered It seemed like four days ago We were so in love Frolicking in the opulence, Luxury of our acquaintance Our love compared to the strength of the greek gods Basking in the afterglow, Proposing a toast, With reason to believe it will not collapse Without knowing our pride would lead to our demise. And leave us cold, destitute, shocked beyond our mortal Comprehension Sobering to the thought this is the end And the heat we once shared can’t take this chill away Blistering, I had to leave my body as the frost was setting in. . . In d i s b e l i e f This is just a tip of the iceberg How could “us” the greatest love story Go down in history as a shame Will we be known as the world's greatest love tragedy? Sinking down to the oceans living room Look at me soaking in all my tears of sorrow Cubit measurements of the ocean amounting To the number of shed tears Poisedon, nowhere to be found Must have won the fight with the Titans Was I the Titan, And you Poisedon Was our love destined to fail before it started Who is to blame This seems like a case for a wrongful death suit Never to regain Nor to recover Just a titanic mockery Be forewarned before you sign on It may look good, But we didn’t see what was lurking underneath So much planning for our debut A year in the making Big lights Cameras, the fame So much for what we thought we knew Versus What we didn’t see coming!
