Jilted a couple of times

LOVE FOR LIFE

Once upon a time
Once i was in love
Love was all i had
Love made me swore
Swore to never do it again
Swore to remain single
Single till i die
Single like a thread
Thread through needle
Thread back to my heart
Heart was happy again
Heart was beating
Beating till sore
Beating for another
Another cut
Another tear
Tear through my soul
Tear through my eyes
Eyes turned red
Eyes shut down
Down to never rise
Down below bones
Bones that won’t talk
Bones that won’t fight
Fight for me from pain
Fight till i bleed no more
More stars came
More scars born
Born out of loves
Born out of a pursuit
Pursuit of purpose
Pursuit of life
Life is a throat choke
Life is a finish line
Line to be crossed
Line we should trace
Trace from the root
Trace to a why
Why we are here
Why we have to pretend
Pretend we are happy
Pretend like it doesn’t hurt
Hurt like a wound
Hurt like it would kill
Kill one’s joy
Kill one’s only life
Life is a mystery
Life is not fair
Fair
Mystery
