Regretful Choices

I make many decisions in my life,
In the moment of heat
But as they start sinking in,
It pierces through my soul like a knife.
It leaves behind a huge scar
That I want to hide
I end up making choices again
causing a series of war.
Now there is chaos,
between my mind and heart
And the cycle of regret repeats
Causing them to fall apart.

I look at the mirror and see a hidden image
Of a demon disguised as an angel.
I feel a wrecking ball dancing merrily
Inside my already broken ribcage. 
I end up making choices again
causing a series of war
Now there is chaos,
between my mind and heart
And the cycle of regret repeats
Causing them to fall apart.

I pick up the million pieces of my heart,
That's still holding my love intact 
By a thin line of string,
Almost ready to throw me apart.
I end up making choices again
causing a series of war.
Now there is chaos,
between my mind and heart
And the cycle of regret repeats
Causing them to fall apart.

Serendipity led me to you
I made you believe my love is sublime
You trusted in the unspoken and wild,
And hence a burning hell you had to walk through.
I don't think am a human,
Because I am breathing just fine
My heart is beating without any noise
Because am as toxic as gluten.


I ended up making choices again
causing a series of war.
Now there is chaos everywhere,
between my mind and heart.
And the cycle of regrets repeats again
Causing everything to fall apart.
