The heart dies a slow death. Shedding each hope like leaves
Until one day there are no hopes. Nothing remains
Nothing but bitterness, resentment, anger and regret

I been through heartbreak multiple times and lost love makes my heart ache
It's easier to break another heart than for you to take
The weight of being left behind is like a stab in the chest with a sharpened steel stake or sharp shank
Sometimes you're caught and wanna escape like Shawshank
When the affair feels like you're trapped up in a shark tank
You can't think, it's time to plan your break and change your fate
Do it like a man can't afford to be down-faced
I knew her since the days of college to be honest
I was smitten by this kitten though our love was forbidden
We were too different-hearts-were too rigid we were in a rush
To fall in love sisters brothers friends others warning us
But love lives way beneath the skin
And makes the most unlikely become kin
Perseverence results in the win
But I didn't and that's where my story begins listen

All this fighting, fussing, Can't take this no more
Peace is fleeting in my heart can we just settle the score?
I love you, so deeply but it seems we just can't level
Coz talking to you's like a conversation with the devil

3 years go by still looking fly she's a keeper
Her beauty still hits me when I peep her but this is
Where the story takes a major turn and soon we learn
You never know what flame in another heart burns
I told her girl we need to meet
In a sweet tone that didn't hint at grief
She would feel it soon when it got too real
Our conflict would match Palestine & Israel
I told her girl I wanna break up
She started crying her face smeared with make-up
She stated that I knew everything she gave up
Her family disowned her mad cake she gave up
Is another lover why I have to suffer?
Did I do you wrong or disrespect your mother?
I gave up everything just to be your lover
And you do me like this you stupid motherf***er
"That's true" I thought to myself
The mental bond is long gone and I really can't tell
If the love is there anymore feels like I'm locked in a cell
By myself I lost the feeling like I can't read Braille
Over time, we slowly got our act together
Lovey dovey cheesy lines like mozzarella
2 years of war led to great bitterness the note
That she left behind simply said "We're finished kid"
From time to time I still see her in Blantyre
We never talk we just wave that's all that transpires
She got kids I got one on the way
They will never know of the love between her & me
Love affairs end and we shouldn't take it too hard
The fire fizzles out the pain burns deep in your heart
But you can still heal if you don't mess with the scar
One day you may meet the one to rekindle the spark
