Magic & Reality

Verse 1:
This is a story of magic and reality
The maintained balance followed by the collapse into tragedy
Separation it had to be,
Sadness-calamity,
The death of romance by the hand of practicality!
And I still got those marks on my neck
The decision that was met with a shortness of breath
Cause the thought of you makes it hard to breathe
I'm tryna lie to myself saying you aren't what I need
That I can easily forget everything that we said
That I can easily forget all the love that we bled
That I can easily forget the home that was our bed
That I can easily forget the devotion that I pledged!
That one day I'mah be aiight without youuuu
That one day I'll remember I was fine before I found you,
Magic resides where practicality is not,
I felt like I had both, but actually did not!...
Verse 2:
This was a storybook romance, one for the ages
An effortless slow dance that could fill up my pages
With lavender, chamomile, hints of your skintone
But now all I seem to have is ragefire and brimstone!
It's bubbling I struggle with the day to day same ol'
The fountain of life has now become a volcano
I loved you whether you were Te'Ka or Te'Fiti,
Unconditional even, All of You Completely...
I loved all of your faults and put them on a pedestal
The times I helped you to heal were my favorite episodes
But now the season finale is over
Regaining composure
Burning up in the flames of this closure!
Over and over I tell myself I'll heal with time
But now it feels like I'm walking through a field of mines
Akala ko na hanap ko yung ride or die (I thought I found my ride or die)
Pasensya sa puso ko (Sorry to this heart of mine)
Just another bye and bye....
Just another bye and bye...
Just another bye and bye...
Just another bye and bye...
(The day that you lied was the day that I died)

memories of better times are still so vivid
endless as they once were, we've both become rigid
gratitude's been replaced by miscommunication
attitude's in a bad place, both of us losing patience
never would've imagined arriving at this junction
really we could've done better at stopping the destruction
of us or what once was, call it how you want it
soulmates is what you called us, but now I'm all just haunted
everywhere i look is a reminder of you
yearning for your love i'm no longer trying to do
observations reveal you had some issues to undo
unconditional with no apologies is how i loved you
so now i'm doing all i can to erase that
unraveling my heart strings - all my dope love i take back!
calling your name as i go through the storm
killing myself with emotions til my soul is reborn.
