Dark Horse

It didn't even feel like falling.
The air around us was so light.
Might as well have been dying.
Gravity suddenly reversing.
While in my head I took flight.

Charming doesn't quite describe it.
Wilting? Old-fashioned? maybe fusty.
Spewing fortune-cookie-poetry.
With no need for a friend like me.
You just catered to your hollow.

I made you out to be this dark horse.
Expecting the unexpected from you.
'cause between us I felt this intense force.
Except in my heart deep down I knew,
You were no knight in shining armor.

Now you've dropped it on the floor.
But once given, no takebacks, no encores,
A broken heart won't grow back, there's no cure.
Although with smiles I proceed and pretend
Some things, alas! You cannot mend.
