Twisted Karma

Fate has led my heart to find A love that was never destined to last I wonder if this is the punishment I deserve For my cruel and heartless past Karma has twisted my dreams so fast And threw my love in the trash A life-altering war rages on That split our apartment in two Some nights I lay against the wall That separates me from you. Tormented by this endless pursuit That rips my heart through and through An intrinsic insanity leads me on I imagine you on the other side Strumming your fingers across the wall While my child grows inside Looking up through tear soaked eyes To where our memories lie A sense of longing derives Inside your wicked lies I’m wallowing in broken dreams And taunted by the burdens I choose I once believed this was my ‘happy ever after’ Now I’m waiting for fairy tales to come true Hoping that I’m done paying dues And maybe someday you will choose To stop treating me like you do We’ll get back to being me and you Settle down and say ‘I do” But there you go Out the door into his arms You chose his dim-witted presence Over my witty charm To0 blind to see the harm In trading that broken home for ours? Spare his feelings to obliterate mine You say you feel obligated to be with him When you’re not lying in my arms A broken faith in you snaps from within This could possibly be the end? Our bond is a broken glass we can’t mend No longer my friend I love you Who am I to you?

"Some nights I lay against the wall That separates me from you." That line gave me the chills! Love it!
