A thousand nights
On my own
Just to live 'till those moments with you
The day my soul both whispered and yelled
Finally completed again

We both know of those stepping stones
Both suspecting of where they'd lead
While I fell and drowned in that lake
I watch as you stepped past again

Then while my lungs filled up
I witnessed as you fell
Your own drowning
In the haven you called hell
I tried to revive it while you left
But I was merely the moon

Whereas you were always the sun

And now I realise
I had abandoned it too

And now I watch from the ocean floor
The happiness of the sky above
As those exotic plants bloom again
And I realise all I had missed

You stole her heart
And she stole your's
The happy ending that I smile to see
But behind the facade you fail to be

You stole away my soul
And here I am
Trapped by seaweed
On the ocean floor

A thousand nights
On my own
I lost everything,
I lost you, I lost my hope
But most of all
I lost her

I was never the glow
Or the swallowing ocean depths

It would have been easy
To whisper goodbye in my own ignorance
To never wake up
As I dozed entwined in your arms

I haven't felt as tranquil as that
Since those days so long ago

Why was it so wrong when it felt so right
To be encased in your body's vines

Surely it shouldn't have felt right

As I look back at the fractured land
I smile one last time
Grin and bear it

I ruined my own foundations
I gave it all up for some instinctive call

You're the reason of my poetry
My discovery
I spoke through a flower
But now I speak the truth
I made a mistake
In the end, I ended up betrayed

Mais, c'est la vie

I went through denial
I went though anger
I went through bargains
And I went through depression

And this is my acceptance
You'll always be there
But for now
I close the closet door.
