“No Alibi, Just The Truth” Hold you close until you release your doubts

Kiss you still even in our midlife droughts

There was freedom in my surrender
Weightless mind, weightless heart
Your actions speak beyond me
I never truly understood any of it
Past the curses and the cries
A disappearing act after my very own demise
It was a showstopper to say the least
Given the interlude was your lying kiss
9 months sober and I must admit
There were days I’d just reminisce
How one’s genuine love held me tight
When we walked and when we talked
How one’s a gentleman became feral
Was it my love?
Or was it doubt that made us imperil?
One thing’s for sure, a corner in my mind has you
as a mural
Be with you in any of your whereabouts
At the end of the day
I wanted to stay
Yet you painted me with your darkest gray
Leaving me to pay the price you wouldn’t pay
I’m sorry for not knowing how to love you
The way that you wanted, I had no clue
Despite of my silent speeches
In dreary dismay, we were both speechless
Your name still spells out pain
But it doesn’t take away the fact you loved me—
In my rainy days and in your draining days
We loved each other, we just both went insane

I played my cards right, I know I did

But you shuffled them right back—
Warranted the mere thought of us to you was
morbid
So, you took the shot and ran like a kid

Take my truth, I won’t give an alibi

Despite your hypocrisies and goodbyes—
You still have the audacity to lie
Listen carefully, you’ll need to bat an eye

I built a labyrinth just for you

Made you my temple and my sky
Not even a cent or dime—
Will compare, I swear

I swear and I solemnly swear

After the woven thread you teared
I fought for us, fair and square
You had your shortcomings, you know where

Your love was suffocating me

You just stood there, as if you were blind and
couldn’t see
I called a truce on your lips
Because you know, you’re the only one who makes
my heart skips

I loved you for dear life

Even if there was a multitude of strifes
All I ever wanted was just to be your wife
But if that’s the case, maybe in the afterlife

I would’ve built you a house
