We give up
Before we understand what is at stake
Never giving our all
Too afraid to fall
It's safer when there's nothing to lose
Leaving shells of potential
A decision to choose
Yet a chance never taken
Wondering what went wrong
When it was ourselves
All along

and this is so dangerous because
he is the moon and I'm a mortal girl
who landed on top of him
foolishly taking her space mask off
just to kiss his birthday cake lips
and die
How many sleepless nights were spent
Trying to avoid the demons that come with the night?
Bringing with them
Memories of failures and past loves
Calamity and death
Not allowing peace
For that much needed sleep

How many days were spent
Stuck in bed because dealing with the world
Didn't make any sense?
Fearful of dealing with anything
Even nothing seemed like too much

Walking through life
Like a zombie with no direction
Sense of purpose lost
When the carpet was pulled out
From under your feet

And your world came crashing down

That is why the demons haunt you
You blame yourself and are broken
Not knowing how to stand again
Because you can't tell where you belong anymore
Feeling alone more than ever

Just needing a friend to help you fight the demons
Someone to help remind you how to smile

if a flower blooms each time
my heart is falling for you
then I will turn this world
into a kaleidoscopic garden

how can I not
fall for him
when his charm
illuminates
the sweetest sin;
even the angels
change their minds
"WON"T YOU GET TIRED OF LOVING ME ?" she asked

"HAS THE SUN EVER GOT TIRED OF RISING." He replied.

he blinked, he smiled, he looked like the sky
so blue, yet new, the highest intensity of hue
I lived inside the blackest silence for so long
now everything lights up like a love song
