(Lost in the Land)

Dwelling in different regions,
our hearts had a strong connection.
Fondly believing I'd be living alone,
'til I found you, and my world changed on its own.

We came out confidently while raising our flag
so much love that I would like to brag.
Living with you in screaming colors,
but everything changed, we forgot what we were fighting for.

Standing in front of the mirror—thinking 'bout us.
Drowning in thoughts of when it will last.
I know we've both made mistakes,
but the toxicity has polluted our love's lakes.

Am I asking for too much?
Did I break the sphere we were protecting for months?
You slapped me with this girl you've known bygone,
Tears falling like ricochets from a gun.

I forgave you like a child,
I kept you like an oath.

I realized I'm being lured by your kind,
Sinking and shaking in the same boat.

Promises of us are now missing in the month of May.
Pictures on my phone have been taken away.
Day by day, I always pray
that I could cover these indelible scars in any way.

I've been silent for months in my social life,
you left me with trauma that has begun to rife.
Wishing I could modify the phases of the clock,
dying from believing I could bring my old self back.

Months have passed, and I've learned something:
lower your expectations because some are unlikely to happen.
When you see red flags inside of him,
Distance yourself 'cause it'll give you maim.

This is the story of how I got lost in the land,
the land I hate to ever walk again.

Today, I can finally say that I'm clean,
escaped from the shackles that haunted me like a fiend.
