Tables, Turning

Duvet days under the sheets

We looked up at the stars

Promised each other the world

Not knowing there was mars

God of war looking over

Linen covers and pillowcase smiles

Thought warmth was sunshine

Turned out to be fires


Said set me free with your love

Should of been set me from such

You claim you aren’t a narcissist

Yet can’t prove as much

Your empty and cold

I’m left dying on the floor

Yet you take a look at my tears

And then walk out the door


Sunshine kisses

Hands bound tightly

Promises made

Almost nightly

You gave me the world

Flaming and burning

We said forever

But now tables are turning


Tossing and turning

Was the nightmares

That promised world

Forgotten in cold stares

And arguments and words

Thrown like piercing knifes

Thought we’d take our hearts

Ended taking our lives


You fucking said

We’re meant to be

Well darling take it back

You can’t control me

I’m not some teddy bear

To cuddle in dark night

Yet when daylight comes

Know you’ll take flight


Sunshine kisses

Hands bound tightly

Promises made

Almost nightly

You gave me the world

Flaming and burning

We said forever

But now tables are turning


So much as I love you

It’s time to let you go

Those duvet days

Left you to crow

Those sunshine kisses

Just gave you power

But know it’s time

To leave this tower


Burning kisses

Hands cuffed tightly

threats made

Daily and nightly

You gave me a world

Meant for my burning

You forced forever

Finally that tables turning
