Halcyon
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.
