"She'll turn their heads, but not their hearts" - Lang Leav


I was the kind that could not resist the pull of love

Tugging upon my heart for some room, your place

Your heart on equal level as mine was never above

I knew and loved how it was trapped in your embrace

 


In terms of being alone for the longest time

Without you, becoming jaded and melancholic

I held you on the highest pedestal in my mind

It was all because you were truly the only one

 


I would not have said that I was trapped

I paid no attention to any warning signs

The stars cried out to me for the last time 

I would prefer to call it a blissful isolation

 


Who would not want to be kissed by the sun

Disregarding all the burns and suffering from it?

Underneath a spotlight, overshadowing the stars

I never knew those stars have long since gone

 


Even though you were never truly there for me

So to walk the wrong path was never really living 

Even though we were sitting by in the same room

This was the first choice I was ever really given

 


Since then, I could not speak nor ever walk away 

Empty promises, I stood tall with my feet rooted

Heavy iron bars, my refuge as I had never known

Nor ever been given a love nearly as tender as this

 


As my walls came crashing down, I surrendered 

I know this feeling, I am definitely contented

Life only lived through hanging my head in shame

Yet that foundation is stronger, I then relented

This is based off of all the times I convinced myself that I was happy, presented like a love poem in order to emphasise that fact.
