Sun who provides for my world
Or the inhabitants who use and abuse
Don't claim to be the sun
If I can't tell you apart from the blues
In the sky and in the sea
In the very air that I breathe
The pollution in my world
Will surely suffocate me
If I'm watching you drown,
Engulfed by your own emotions
How can I expect you to warm my oceans?
They're frigid, they're deep
I'll surely drown
I could handle them on my own
But it's harder with you around
You're like an anchor, or a siren
Seductive and sweet
Until she pulls you under
Down into the deep

Nothing about my answer is final
Because I, too, like you more than I should
But I can't answer to your beck and call
I wouldn't if I could

The devil didn't slay me
He decided to choose you
Now what you say can't sway me
With words I can't be moved
Brittani Nov 2013
Please don't idolize me
I'm only going to let you down
I can't live up to your idea of me
I promise, I'm really not that profound
I can't be what you want me to be
Because I'm not even sure what that is
I can't even be what I want me to be
When I feel like I'm constantly being quizzed
I'm just a proper noun
I'm just Brittani, that's all
But living up to the image you've created
That order just seems too tall

The devil doesn't come with horns
He will be everything you've ever wanted
He'll sweep you off your feet
And then he'll make you feel unwanted
He'll dump the dirt where he pleases
He'll wipe his hands clean
He won't give it another thought
And you thought you were his queen
It will be very indirect
It won't be your fault or mine
It won't happen here and now
It might happen way down the line
Then again, it may not happen at all
I'm just terrified that it will
But if he decides to come around
Which one of us will he ****?
Brittani Oct 2013
The sun will rise tomorrow
As long as you do too
Don't wish away the moon
For it's what balances you
Everything passes with time
Everything always turns out okay
So if things aren't going well
Try again another day
Brittani Sep 2013
Tell me that you love me
Then show me that you do
Give me one good reason
Not to fall in love with you
