I Know

My heart skips a beat to the sound of a drum.
   I’m trapped in the thoughts I keep dreaming of.
Three simple words that could ruin my life.
   My days are filled with pain from my constant strife.
Like the flick of a wrist or the drop of a dime
   My life changes stages like the tune of a chime.
The ache in my heart that maintains my soul.
   The pain in my life has begun to take its toll.
The years pass by like they are hours.
   The building blocks of my life have crumbled like towers.
I love you can change a person’s life for the bad
   Because I am dreaming for a love I know we never had.

Oh! This is so heart wrenching and beautifully sad.
"Three simple words that could ruin my life."- Yes! I agree, "I love you" are just three words which can either ruin or make anyone's life and thus I consider them as the most strongest words!
The flow is just awesome and I found each and every line more painful than the last one.
"The ache in my heart that maintains my soul.
The pain in my life has begun to take its toll."- This is surely heart breaking and you know whenever we breaks up from a relationship, it do gives us this much pain and trust me with time it will going to decrease..I don't know how much time will it going to take..But I'm sure one day you'll realize that nothing actually happened at all..But see, it gave rise to such a brilliant piece of writing..!
Great work ! :)
