ACCOMPLICE

Here we are armed with lies

Over the lifeless body of what once was

Wasted on rage

overwhelmed with the truth

This is the story of how our love died

How I killed it and you were my accomplice

There we were, hopelessly wondering

Roaming without a set route

You crashed into me and my whole world shook

That's where it all began

The beginning of the end

We nurtured this new found love

We raised it and it grew before our eyes

At such a rapid pace

We raised expectations

We set new standards

We were THE perfect example

While polishing the outside

The storm grew bigger and more tense inside

Behind closed doors

The love we found was being killed by

Insecurity, immaturity, and careless actions

Then one night we sharpened our blades

Words that should've never been said

Vitriol reigned supreme, it was you and me

Love never stood a chance

It fell to its knees beginning to live

Mercilessly we looked it in the eye

And we too one final strike...

There we were...

Completely broken over the lifeless body

Of what we once were...

Crying and lamenting prior actions

Sobbing for the loss of something beautiful

Something we can't get back

There still lies the outline of last night

How hate is all left from our bliss

How I committed murder and you were my accomplice

And so forever bonded, white lie

This is the story of how our love died.
