It was picture perfect
Me and you
Walking down the aisle
Hand in hand
Promises and vows
A happily ever after
Written in sand
Washed away by lies
Waves so strong
Crashing into me
Leaving me breathless
Leaving me weak
Knocking me right
Off my feet
I can’t feel the world
Below me
Now all I have left
Is memories
Of how things used to be
Memories that
Just seem like lies to me
And now
You’re begging me to stay
But I don’t have the strength
To hold on to
A lie of a union
That has never had a chance to blossom
A rose wilting in a jar with no chance
Of survival
