The Flip of the Heart
Mirror, my mirror, you stole my heart and eyes
You do have my all, except for my voice
You make my heart throb millions in size
Our love is a story; Your image is my glory
You make me feel as cherubic as a cory
Tell me how I look tonight, as fair as ivory?
You and me, in an arcane orchard, by the coast,
where our souls are unwoven, we shall raise a toast
I shall eternally dote on you the most
You are my snow on a summer day like a dove
Your panache bought me boutonnières from above
You're me, I'm you, darling, whom I shall only love
At last, they see the flip of a coin, one side whole, the other destroyed
The mirror I loved is cracked and shattered
my mind is corrupt and hope is gone
I flip and flip yet only get burned
Is that what we amount to?
the chance we fall,
live with love no more,
Blacker than the darkest sea,
nights so bleak
my heart feels weak
and so I turn to walk alone
flip my coin with an anger-filled tone
as the doves have died
and I died with them
No matter the day I live with my hate, I blame you, I blame you
I blame you for breaking my light and leaving me in the snowless night
