IF ONLY?

IF ONLY LOVE WAS LIKE WHAT THEY SAID IT WOULD BE

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE TO ME?

IF ONLY LOVE WAS AS SWEET AS SMELLING AS A ROSE

IF ONLY LOVE FELT AS SATISFYING AS PLUMMETING TO YOUR DEATH

IF YOU WANT TO FALL INTO THE WRATH OF LOVE

IT WON'T TAKE LONG UNTIL YOU SUCCUMB.

SUCCUMB TO THE FATE THAT AWAITS YOU AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GAPING PIT

DARK AND DESOLATE, LIKE A STARLESS NIGHT

LOOKING UP AT THE FUTURE THAT YOU LOST

IF ONLY LOVE DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE RIPPING OF A MUSCLE IN THE DEEP CORNERS OF YOUR HEART

UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOES

LOVE SI PURE TORTURE

LIKE A MANTIS AWAITING ITS FATE

FROM IT'S DEADLY MATE

LOVE IS A TRAP AND WE WILLINGLY PLUNGE INTO IT OR TAKE BABY STEPS AND STILL END UP FALLING HEART FIRST

HOPING FOR THE GREAT FEELINGS ONE SI PROMISED BUT INSTEAD WE BECOME ENTANGLED IN DARKNESS AND PAIN

PAIN WHICH SWALLOWS YOU ALIVE LIKE AN ANACONDA

TWIST AND TURNS THAT STING WITH EVERY MOVEMENT THAT YOU MAKE

STARE INTO ITS EYES AND LET IT MESMERIZE YOU

UNTIL THE PAIN NO LONGER LASTS AND YOUR FREE TO FEEL AGAIN

ONLY TO GO THROUGH THE WRATH OF LOVE AGAIN

UNTIL YOU LEARN THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPE AND YOU JUST LET THE PAIN EAT YOU ALIVE.
