"It began with a ringing on my phone, & it shook me. I woke up in a cold sweat, much like days gone past. Who could it be? What would it mean? Apprehensive thoughts, it kept lingering. 'Someone had died' they said, & it was tragic. A recurring disease, came back to haunt him. To my chagrin, my neck stiffened up. My body, heavy but lifeless. I couldn't move my limbs, as I reached out in vexation. This whole story, reminds me Of a tragedy, How I should've foreseen. About a man who lived to tell a tale. Of how he drank from a poisonous well. About a man, who drank from a poisonous well"
She came back & brought promise "when you look at me, I know. you're everything that I want." She spoke of a second chance Let's start over, let me introduce myself Create new memories & relearn what we already know The past was non-existent. This is your second chance The anchor was released. The shackles, it broke free It was us. Five years that seemed like an eternity More so for me
I love us. Rekindled, I told her "& if I see you fall, I'll turn the World on its side, so it catches you." We held hands, the grip so tight, I could not die Not even the promise of death from wars Could destroy what was 'everlasting' One day I woke up feeling strange, floating The grip had faltered & it fades Why would she let go, it was a promise until our deathbed
The gentle rain now pours & the wind blows in the wrong direction I remember that blissful touch from your hands, but I immediately stop & wept For 125 Days, I drank from the well, the same one in which I fell We made a pact worthy of wolves They sneak behind each other's backs, thinking we're fools
You've ripped my heart out all those years & now you came back just to break me again I say "that it's not okay for you to walk into my life & pretend to care, then leave me as if... It was nothing, we were nothing. I was nothing."
I suited up, all black & combed my hair. Perfect in every strand To pay my last respects for somebody who had died drinking from the poisonous well I took a glance, & fall back onto my chair Oh what a dismal tragedy this is For I am that man, who had died a majestic death For I am that man. It was me
