Cheers To Ancient Times

Like a lightning bolt; striking me... Sending a chill down my spine

Should’ve known you were forbidden… The creation of heavens; Mr. Divine

So evident and transparent to the mind that you’ll never be mine

I have given up; bowed, taken my hat off and resigned

Should have been aware and alerted to every clue and sign

Have ached for so long… Kept going back not once, twice, but nine

Drank poison as I raised my glass to the sky, mislead, assuming it was wine

Pretending to know it all, being part of your future… But I’m no Einstein

A story of longing and surrendering… Of love and pain combined

Farewell to the days of you folding to my arms; of us two being entwined

Crying through the night, waking up with puffy eyes, covering it all with a believable performance of being fine

Should have poured it all out when I had the chance. Should have shouted it off of roof tops – wrote it in headlines

Cheers to ancient times… Now, I only get to visit your shrine
