I spend more time biting my lips more than
I talk about my feelings.

More than anything,
I choose to bite my lips.

You are a butterfly
that flies and perches
on a corpse flower
throughout the rainy season
in December.

You lock your heart tightly,
I'm the wrong key.

All my paths are serpentines
That lead around in circles.
My destination is so far
I cannot see it in the haze
That eddies in my vision.

I planted hollyhocks and marigolds
In the garden of my dreams.
I had no way to water them;
They withered in the Summer sun.

I haven’t any more to lose.
I’ve given everything I have.
There’s nothing left but hopelessness
And waiting for the final end.

Have you ever always been surrounded but felt alone,
Have you ever had a heart that just felt like stone,
When you get up in the morning it ways you down,
Every color in your life fades to grey, black, or brown,
No matter how many people try to help the hope is lost,
The world feels cold like my heart is covered in frost,
But my face melts as the tears roll down thinking about you,
But our 1 + 1 will never again make 2.

You, you, you
Wanna be in love with you
Gonna fall in love with you
If it’s the only thing I do.

You, you, you
Need to wear my wedding ring
If you’d do that special thing
I would feel just like a king

You, you, you
I’m in love with you, you, you
Tell me that you love me too
And make all my dreams come true
