A happily Ever After Based On Lies — Summary

You are my future My everything My heartache, Heartbreak.

My flaws And my imperfections

You are my past Present And my future

My thoughts My mistakes My reality

My wants My needs My everything You are my world

You are me My prefect flawed imperfections My walking, talking, breathing disaster My nightmare

Until I realize I am only running from myself. I will remain a shadow.

The speaker piles up labels for a person they love: future, past, present, world, everything. But the list keeps turning darker. This person is also "heartache," "heartbreak," a "disaster," a "nightmare." Then comes the twist: "You are me." The one being addressed seems to be the speaker's own flawed self, or at least someone so tangled up with them that the two can't be separated.

The mood is intense, restless, and a little bruised. The repeated "My" shows how completely the speaker feels bound to this person, while the contradictions show how painful that closeness is. The subtitle, "A happily Ever After Based On Lies," hints that the fairy tale isn't real.

The last two lines carry the point. Running from this person is really running from oneself, and until the speaker faces that, they stay a "shadow," present but not fully alive.

One moment its hugs and kisses The next its silence and cold hard looks. Wrapped in your arms one second Pushing me away the next minute.

betrayed by love

I stared into your eyes and said three words Smiled and kissed to confirm my oath. Walked through rubbles of our flaws Patched up our broken walls, with passion and desire.

Days passed like a common cold Seasons changed, But in it all, time stood still. That moment when our eyes first met,
