The lover I wish I never knew
O' here you are, someone new.
You dare to sweep me off of my feet,
I resented being blue
now you've given my heart a reason to beat.
I adore how you make me feel
whether you are far or near,
all these feelings could never spill
for all the pain, I know how to bare.
I thought you were, the love of my life,
but in my heart, you buried a knife.
I no longer breathe with ease,
asphyxia attacks are my new normalcy
from time to time, I float in melancholy.
I wonder what can bring me new peace.
Finally you said goodbye.
And I said "Oh my!"
You tried to conceal the truth with a lie
but, I saw it in your eye.
Oh here you were, someone new
turned to be, the lover I wish I never knew.
