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
