You

Nothing mattered before I met your eyes
And those green fields became my escape.
Your crimson lips were the door to my dreams,
And in those dreams I got to be by your side.
Your smile was infectious and your soul was so clear,
The light from inside would call out to me...
Your call was my call to action and action was immediate,
Your voice, my honey-velvet melody...
You were the better version of me.
Nothing had more importance than you,
Nothing mattered if I lost your touch,
And the dreams became sour after that,
You became the light that attracted another moth
Just like me.
I soon saw the chinks in your armor, my dear,
And through the cracks the darkness that lived within...
The porcelain shattered, the illusion went,
And at your side, darling, I felt the unrest.
Those green fields I adored quickly turned blue,
The winter in them spread throughout your veins...
I couldn't bring the summer anymore, I could not give you peace,
And soon enough, another moth took my place.
At first I was bitter, and turned into a beast,
I couldn't believe that I was replaced!
But soon, I let go of my favorite place,
And you became something I used to embrace..
You became a memory in an album of photos,
A favorite place to think of when nothing made sense...
You became a shadow of the man in which I escaped...
You became the prison that kept me in place.
Often the memories return briefly,
And for a few moments I remember the haven you were,
I wouldn't trade anything to return to that place,
Because I came to love you the way that you are.

I look back at that time with tears in my eyes,
And wonder for a moment what happened this time..
But when I look at how we are now...
There isn't a thing I regret about how things came to be...
And it's okay to feel the way we do
But separate is how we should always remain.
