As my eyes blur from the tears

I reminisce on the past years

The pain left a strain on what we could’ve gained

We were good, gracious, and great

We were just youngs, yet every moment gave breath to my lungs

You were also a friend that freed me from our illusions of love


A drug and a dream

We lost connection


You left without an explanation

Leaving me clueless, counting every possible cause

When it was you all along, it was you who went wrong

How could you speak so highly of

This thing called love?

Just to throw it away and betray this decay

Because when the sun fell the fear we felt signified sheer truth

We knew what we had lost, we knew the true cost


A drug and a dream

We lost connection


You weren’t all to blame for this pain

What we had was a lost sheep

Long gone no more room for ponder

Now is our time to think and thrive throughout the next chapter of our lives

Maybe this was for the best, we are no longer beggars to be better

We are now the very air we breathe. Free. Free from shackles.


A drug and a dream

We lost connection


Refrain: Never Ending, by. C. Sabo / Rihanna

Thi spoem represents a couple that has lost love for each other. In the beginning the character blames their partner, only to realize that they were just not right for each other.
