REDUX
Part I
(Early Feb)
A whole year has passed, sure
And my flag is still half mast
Tis the nature of things to pass
but I had hoped we would last

Fast becoming friends
Faster still the end
You ripped out my heart
and crush it in your hand

Praps I was too hard
Praps I wanted too much
Forced you to be what you weren't
Harsh lesson I learnt

I don't know why you lied to me
Let the world know what a fool I could be
I loved thee and only thee
Baffles me still, how this you couldn't see

I've shed my bucket of tears
Paid with the pound of flesh nearest my heart
It'll never end I fear
and the deamons of my dreams sit and leer

I've punished myself enough
And though my heart shatters again and again
I pretend to be tough
Face frozen forever in a mask

PART II
March 8th
Love
Hate
Loving to hate you
Hating loving you

Puppet I'm not
You put me on a string
twirled me in a ring
Puppet I became

Scorpion you are
tore my heart with your sting
yet touched my soul
what was your goal?

Football, that's me
kicked around from goal to goal
by someone who my heart stole
bouncing from one memory to another

Phoenix in reverse- you
Dead after the ides
born again, how was the ride?
from child to woman all in a stride

Stupid as can be; me
For overlooking your faults
And even after a year has passed
my flag's still at half mast
