Breathing Through You

A dying world in a dying universe

A starving poet singing on the last verse

I was a fool to fall for your charm

I was deluded into loving a scam

Lured into misery by laughter and smiles

Another tragedy brought forth by her lies

I should have known that I was standing in your way

I was only an obstacle to be controlled

Now I live in shards on minimal social pay

Another life sacrificed for her goals

The cold air of the winter night is freezing my skin

Without her treason where would I have been?

When you were in need I took you into my arms

Giving you shelter, food and warmth

Now that I stand on the shores that you once stood

I see your house of wealth painted in blood

I should have known that I was standing in your way

I was only an obstacle to be controlled

Now I live in shards on minimal social pay

Another life sacrificed for her goals

In altruistic foolishness I helped you on your way

The purest form of stupidity is love

The greatest ugliness is the beauty that leads you astray

Now I only live to soon die alone
