I cried for you
Heavens cried for you
We were not informed of the short duration of our affair
Together we were shocked when we heard the words of goodbye coming from your mouth
You shed a tear when you realised you meant them, shivered with fear when I realised just how long I’ve lingered to hear you say those words
We saw our fall, saw the cracks in our hearts but humility had to be a two way lane
Neither of us was willing to speak out and save us
Angels cried for you
Cried a river when they saw you turning me into a hopeless creature
Misery and failure were better than being with you
So filled with despair even they couldn’t help dry the tears
Angels sobbed when they realise that our love was broken that their melodies couldn’t mend us
My soul cried for us when vainness was all that lived within me
We cried as one when we realised this life wasn’t for us
We cried jointly when we realised that our unforgettable love was after all forgettable
We cried when we realised how unhappy our own happiness made us
Concluded that the lessons we learned from each other were enough
Demons wept for us that our love was so twisted and beautiful that not even they could fan the flames of our pain any further
The universe stood and cried when we parted
We cried for us but it is too late as we have become permanently broken
