The Best Things

Invincible Fortress, no sign of entry,
Guards deserted, not worth their fate,
Taken away in a way I should never be,
Because I refused you for so long, I forget what it means,

Why do you call, why do you tease,
As I followed you, I lost how to lead.
Fell asleep in your arms, as night faded into morning,
And mourning is what I embraced as I woke,
As you have moved along as I stayed,

Not wanting to feel this aching in my chest,
My heart's split, ripped right to left,
Remnants kept hidden, as I sent it away,
Into the depths of despair, to areas even I fear to go,
Because you can’t hurt what's never known,

I refused your beckoning,
Deaf to your persuading ways,
You're no longer what my heart craves,
Continued repetitions, Scribbling your lullabies,
Recalling what was, no longer echoes in my eyes.

And others fall thinking its you,
but failure's mine with no intentions of following through,
Showing no remorse, I’ll be the worst,
Running on empty, dying of thirst.

Lying to myself, that I don’t desire you,
Seeing you’ve always been the best thing I’ve ever knew,
Darkness surrounds, you’ll be the guiding flame,
Steps closer to you, no longer forgetting your name,
Reunited, wishing this time was the last,
Even through the pain, you’re the best thing I could never have.
