Roses are red
And so is my blood
You made cuts romantic
But it’s not called love

Too bright, tears fell unbidden
Like leaves do in the winter
When the wind, disappointed, sighs

Too loud. I wished for silence,
For companionship, or nothing at all.
Yet this is no fairy tale

You told me
“Let me see your beautiful smile.
For me, please?”

Thus I hid my face
So you didn't have to see me cry
And so I didn't have to listen

When you kissed me
I tasted him on your lips
You didnt say it
But I knew:
I was always just backup

Sometimes I wonder
If it’s all just in my head
And I should just stop

If I was a melody
Then you would be the harmony
Cause you would be the part of me I lack

And if I was the moon above
Then you would be the sun I love
Yeah you would be the light that I reflect

And I don’t know what I would do without you
All I know is this

The stars could die a million miles away
The earth could shake and cities blaze
Still I would love you—fire, snow or rain
I’d hold you, keep you safe from all the pain

Someone listened.
Someone cared.
And I was not alone
With my fears and tears
And emptiness
For one night.
