The world sent me a girl as sweet as a peach
and as scorching as the sun itself.

In that moment,
I knew love as it was meant to be known.

In that moment,
I wished she wasn't 2,000 miles away.

In that moment,
I begged for my heart to let me down gently.

It didn't.

We are woven together - I cannot free myself

No matter how many ties I cut

I’ve been trying to
Get past my past but the door
Is locked from your side

Love is varying but you were not what I expected when the word first tarnished my vocabulary. The word is sinful and leaves such a foul taste in my mouth; no one will ever get as sick of the word as I did.

No one's ever surpassed the absurd expectations of this vile word & I don't want to stick around to find out if I’ll fall into its clutches too.
My love is ruined.

The moon reached down to me tonight
Brushed the hair out of my eyes
And did for me what the sun does for him
Glow.

Burning heart
Matching soul
What will it take
To feel a bit whole

Spinning head
Cloud of smoke
Just one bad habit
To fix what's broke

My throat still aches
I just wanted to feel awake...

My blindness killed my youth;

I am not made of you.

If you would see the truth,

Then you could know it too.
