The Life We Built
We planned our whole lives together,
from the moment we first met.
When the both of us were nothings,
And the world was ours to have.
We built our lives from scratch,
Building upwards from the ground.
Until we had it all,
And our dreams were coming true.
I’m not sure what went wrong,
I don’t remember when you turned.
What once felt like everything,
Now meant nothing to me at all.
What was once our own,
Turned to mine or yours-not both.
The world that we once built,
Was not ours to have a hold.
As I looked into your eyes,
I saw my future go up in flames.
