and as the night grow later
my heart grows fonder

i'll love you as the moonlight shades us

tiger stripes
of painful nights
litter the arm she writes with

she ponders
and cries
she hopes she can lie

for one more night
while the others
**believe her

strawberry is like the taste of your cheeks
and
that of the sensation your lips

roses are like the smell of your hands
and
the air that circles around you

rouge lipstick stains your tie
and
the tips of your collar

why must you lie to me so?

misty surroundings,
i cry from within.

i try to see,
you die in the midst.

i seek comfort in the floor,
cold and damp.

praying for you, my darling,*
*give me one last chance.

like i grow old,
my loves grows strong

as you do too,
i'll always watch from above

your love is what feeds the sun,
the brightness in my heart

your love is what warms the sky,
the fondness in my eyes

your love is what drizzles in the air,
the tears on my cheek*

your love is what the winds are,
the hurricane in my head

your love is like the dark night,
i'm lost and i'm looking for light

your love is like what could've been,
an abandoned city inside of me

your love is all dry and gone,
*like the trench you built in my heart

i love absolutely everything that is wrong with you

the way you;
smoke,
drink,
and tease

the way you;
laugh,
joke,
and swear

i'll always love you my sweetling,
my darling,
my love,
and my heart

but like i tell you over,
and over,
and over,
again

i'll absolutely love you,
cherish you,
and hold you,
for every reason possible

for everything that's wrong with you
