take me to rome,
let's watch the sun set.

I couldn't quite believe
what I had become in that moment,
but it happened
without remorse.

you don't gotta love yourself
before loving someone else,
but whether or not you do love yourself
will change your way of changing others.

Roll the dice,
see how many times
you'll be hurt.

A temporary print on my skin,
no particular meaning,
but beautiful nevertheless.

my mother always told me,
"trust no-one".
i never took her word as gospel,
even after i was used.
when i was betrayed,
however,
i knew to hide my secrets,
because i had no more trust
to spare.

I cary emotions
deep in my soul
where no one cares venture,
not even me.

Alas, it's tiring,
keeping all this sadness,
this remorse,
this love
buried deep down.

It's a shame,
really,
that I cannot share these feelings.

At this point,
it's like heavy luggage,
always and never on my mind.
