The Outline of our Fate

I say, against everyone's objection

These legs will continue kneeling in worship

As proof of my devotion to you

It may be all against the odds

I shouldn't be treating you like a god

But how will the heart know its bottom line?

Is the uncertainty truly worth it

Or will I regret following you around?

My youth is yours, in your hands to exploit

My prayers are blasphemy

To the ears of your non-believers

I pity those ignorant 

They will never know how helpless I was

From the undercurrent pulling me down

To struggle my way up above the water

To catch a single breath and then struggle again

They will never know how hard it was

I have long been blinded

I have long been deaf

I long for the destruction you will cause

I will keep singing praises to your divinity 

Until you wish for my disappearance

I will be your follower

In the service of my undying passion for you

Poster Boy

He likes seeing my tears streaming down my cheeks
I bet it brought him that different kind of kick
Proudly claims he loves my smile, however
He is just a pleaser in everyone’s eyes
My smile was his validation, trophy for the winner

Stolen photo of mine in his empty wallet

He would never let himself love someone

More than he loved to invalidate my protests

Every night he would start a fight to spite me

He would push his way into my mind

Never thought it was a happy surprise

I keep thinking if chasing me around was fun

And settling down should be a punishment for a woman

The set of rules might as well burn me at the stake

Guilty of disapproving our love story called chase

I wonder if my smile exists not just to make you gloat

Is my presence by your side a stroke to your ego?

Is my happiness truly mine and not in your control?

What a shame, we dragged the years to prove a point

Our love showed the way to a pitiful course

Even on the sidewalk, you take the time to slowly walk

How come in hurting me, you do it in haste

Hesitance was not even painted on your face

Please step aside so that I can breathe

But I know you won't let me

It's not a compliment, you are so domineering
