Until Death Do Us Part

1)

In shadows deep, a love once bloomed,

Two hearts entwined, forever presumed.

As in that tangled web, I myself did tread,

Thought it was love, but perhaps was misled.

Five years it lingered, in gray, cloudy days,

His flaws uncovered, yet I chose to embrace.

Hidden under that tender guise,

His selfish ways, sinister lies.

Chorus

Bound by hope, I held in vain,

As he, the creator of pain,

Used my love, a pawn to wield,

Leaving scars that never healed.

Afraid of loneliness, I clung to his side,

Despite the signs, I chose to abide.

A narcissist's grip, his true nature concealed,

And in my blindness, I refused to yield.

Verse 2

He chipped away, with subtle disdain,

And I remained tied to love's cruel chain.

Until one day, his words cut me deep,

He let me go, left me to weep.

Devastated and used, still I begged him to stay,

Not knowing my anguish would soon go away.

Not realizing the blessing, the life of liberty,

Released from fate of dark cruelty.

Chorus

Bound by hope, I held in vain,

As he, the creator of pain,

Used my love, a pawn to wield,

Leaving scars that never healed.

Afraid of loneliness, I clung to his side,

Despite the signs, I chose to abide.

A narcissist's grip, his true nature concealed,

And in my blindness, I refused to yield.

Verse 3

As time passed by, the echoes remained,

In feelings and thoughts, the hurt was ingrained.

Though freedom found its sweet embrace,

His ghost stayed and hovered, left its own trace.

Years drifted by, and I found my content,

In solitude and peace, my spirit’s ascent.

In dreams still bound by the shadowed past,

In daylight that followed, I found my place at last.

Chorus

Bound by hope, I held in vain,

As he, the creator of pain,

Used my love, a pawn to wield,

Leaving scars that never healed.

Afraid of loneliness, I clung to his side,

Despite the signs, I chose to abide.

A narcissist's grip, his true nature concealed,

And in my blindness, I refused to yield.

Verse 4

Then the news arrived, of his sudden demise,

No tears were shed, no sorrowful cries.

For in his death, I found release,

From love that brought me so much unease.

Though memories linger, they hold no delight,

In recollections, darkness takes flight.

A blessing in disguise, our parting foretold

A path to my freedom, from love that grew cold.

Chorus

Bound by hope, I held in

vain,

As he, the creator of pain,

Used my love, a pawn to wield,

Leaving scars that never healed.

Afraid of loneliness, I clung to his side,

Despite the signs, I chose to abide.

A narcissist's grip, his true nature concealed,

And in my blindness, I refused to yield.
