The sun is setting
And my world is fading to black.
I feel trapped inside fish netting.
There is no way i can go back.

Inside, i fell hollow.
As if i am an an ancient, dead oak.
I walk these shores, preying on those feelings I can borrow.
I remember the day my heart first broke.

You looked at me with those fiery eyes.
Mine were tear dimmed and ashamed.
You poisoned my mind with all your lies.
In your heart, i was always blamed.

Everything that went wrong,
You accused me of.
When we fought, we fought hard and long,
But in the end, i was the one who still loved.

My heart loved whom it pleased,
Even when my brain said "No".
With your harsh words, you would tease,
But my heart began to know

That even sunsets and dark days
Would not tarnish the thousand ways
I loved you
And the thousand ways you made sure my heart would never be new.
