It started as a minor thirst

Growing in every bone
supporting a tingling pleasure
Of pain which now is my throne
I used to live in a dream world
Creating fantasies night and day
I grasped every word you said
Which turned out to be cruel lies
reality struck me as lightning
Sweeping me off my feet
the heart of glass broke
Crushing the emotions which arose
I drowned in a flood of emotions
While you stood and watched
I just wish you had told me
What I did wrong in my part
if there had been a warning
Together we wouldn’t be apart.
