I can't keep trapping my feelings deep inside
It’s a force stronger than I that can't be denied

Psyche

Couldn’t live with the butterflies anymore so I killed them with a gun
And every time you reappear I have to ****** them one by one

On the rocks

I knew hanging out with you would be so risky
But I didnt know until the night you kissed me
That you would turn out to be so dark and twisty
Wish I never bought you that bottle of whiskey

Sacrosanct

One thing I know is I will never get that feeling back
No one has ever touched the bottom of my soul like that

Silently smoldered

You provided the spark with no oxygen
which only extinguished the flame
it burned brightly for awhile but
the final flickering ember died in vain

Hologram

I continue to mourn the person I thought you once were
You can get to know someone but you can never be sure

✂️

I liked to heal people
But they hurt me in the process
So I learned to heal myself
And just cut my losses
