Where the Hopeless Romantic is really an Addict of Love Blinded by Desire…
Too numbered are the times
When you crept in mind
Opened the window to my soul
Took a seat and then reclined
But with the love and pain combined
A cloud formed, covered the shine
With toxic love, leading me blind
Couldn’t see to read the signs
And now my heart is redesigned
Covered in metal and cold chains
Fast cars in slow lanes
Swear my world is redefined
This thang called love is a cold game
Left my cocoon a new moth
Can’t be chasin’ no old flames
Because the feeling ain’t the same
I was cryin’ in the rain
Precipitation covered my eyes
Wasn’t no angel from the skies
Just a demon in disguise
But you attract what you are
Better yet, you keep what you accept
And before I knew it
There was a stranger in the house where I slept
Had to free myself by exorcising spirits
Glad I found the God inside
Once tried to drown the pain with spirits
Once in denial of the truth
I wouldn’t hear it
You stay clear of mirrors
Because your reflection, you fear it
I now walk a different path
And your toxic love, I won’t go near it
