As I stared into the eyes of the woman I once loved

Every fiber of my affection turned to suspicion

She couldn’t keep her eyes locked, hands shaking

She looked like my love but she was different

She talked with a soft voice that I hear most days

But the voice sounded a little too soft

Like hiding your planted knife to act like I’m okay

Maybe I’m overthinking just a little bit

But the way she keeps her distance

So close yet so far to me

Like a bubble is keeping her from my hand

Only the bubble is her making

Love is warm and so peaceful

Then why do I feel a cold breeze from her breath

I feel my body shake when I look at her eyes

You don’t have to say a word to speak your lies

I can tell our love is falling short

Is there another man? It doesn’t matter

The love is dying either way

I’ll be the bigger person, I’ll set us free from the cage
