The things you say; the things you do
Sometimes I wonder if they're really you

When all's been said and all's been done
I still can't see whether I've lost or won

A smile takes me beyond the sun
Whilst each word pierces me like Cupid's gun

Though love's not made for one but two
I can't help liking the lone silence too

Even your rudeness flatters me
But it tears me apart as well, you see?

Wishing you would
Thinking that you could
Let it break through
To no-one but you
That I
Have fallen

I hate to say that I now count
The seconds in which I approach a ruthless ground.
Silence wraps itself around my heart
like a tourniquet holding me
helpless in a passive embrace
let me go

Or build me a royal palace
with a single word
then roughly break it down
with the next

Who would suspect to have
such fatal power
a blessing or damnation
buzzing on a fingertip

Your clichéd rollercoaster
driven by mere thought
is scarier than fear itself
don't leave me here

I am not yours
let me hold you
I am yours

— The End —
