Searching my mind for a lost cause

Feeling the beat of a love finally lost

Gabriel must have pushed Cupid out of the way

Doing his job as he saw fit

Killing your emotions towards me

I fell into your trap; fed into your sick joke

Thinking you cared, happy and stupid and full of lust

I walked the river looking for your reflection

Yet only I saw my own

As that once ragin river was unnaturally still

A tale of two cities

Maybe two hearts

Maybe ego on ego as Sigmund would have said

Leaving me delirious with the fever of reality

A sickness…a plague

Coming to grips with your mental state

Forgetting about me as the world forgot Rome

As Black children of today forget about the struggle

Like that of a mountain crumbling to the sea

Pebbles crushed my heart

Slipping below the water

Ripped away by the tide

Words amount to nothing

A screech leading to that finality

A sonic boom and bleeding eardrums

Your action shows your truth
