"ADDICTIVE"

“Addictive”

BY: Tyner Twine 

  

"Translate and you shall see."

 Without an ounce of regret and pain

we parted ways in this city

Love is nothing but the winds behind our backs

and the long and winding road before us

the little sea of lies

turns into a book of promises

A melody made of fragile glass

Our hearts must have felt

The coming of winter

Because we faded with 

The silver lining

You faded ‘cause your 'tomorrow'

Is covered in gray

Stopped in time and crying for yesterday

The words that failed to reach me

In our lonely dreams

Became nothing but a river of tears

The cold loneliness

That passed us by

The days when it was just too hard to bear

The light we continued to search for and lose

Became

The blacks and grays we hold on to

The dying 'flowers'

Calls out to my conscience

Ahh.

And you became the truth I now believe in

I know the words "I love you" Will not bring you back to me

Our “Forever” is no longer here

The moments that spreads like

This fearful blizzard 

Disappears like your voice.

The last sad words from me to you

Was a tearful 'goodbye'

In this frozen time

(I want to keep dreaming)

In this cold and fateful night

Your light begins to fade

And slowly slip away.

The little truths of the white lies we’d hidden

In the sleeping of the faith we once had,

The impossible caress of wanting to forget you

Haunts us in the monochromatic shades

Here on to, I say good bye to you

And what was once was true

This will be the pledge

That I’ll keep on breaking time and time again

And so, until forever sleeps in reality

I’ll see the sadness of this love

And if the day ever comes for us to forget

All of our tears will turn into blood

The kindness which breached loving

Turned into gray

And trapped us in this time-stopped world

And if our sadness brings in the light we had never seen

Always remember,

The end from which we are standing,

…Is the birth of a sad beginning...
