And it’s ugly . All things are ugly in the end , Do some harbour the capacity of only seeing the good ? The ugly is all I see in the end . The  links that tie us are so beautiful yet so raw , Drowned in a color that is ours but also everyones The links that tie us are of a deep red , running in our veins in a way that’s so coarse I wonder if we’re the only ones . The beauty we basked in before the storm removed its light , Still lingers in that beautiful soul of ours . But it has  been sullied , beaten and rendered useless By love itself , by the adoration , trust itself . Love : what a destructive thing , No matter the nature , it’s way of functioning seems to be a never wavering scheme One that is the most fulfilling sight you’ll ever lay your eyes upon , Before every crevice of the thing you once adored turns into to ash and bone Its so fascinating , is it not ? The way we tumble and fall , but still lift ourselves up The way we get a little bit uglier , a little more lost   At every twist and turn , we lose something that we were made of And I’ve lost , lost so much in you . May I reach for your heart , rip it from your chest to allow myself to feel full again ? Or maybe -and only if you let me- would you let me retrieve my books from your shelves , I know you read them , understood them and bare with me , annotated them but they are mine , May I have them back ? It’s in no way that I wish to taint you furthermore with my obligations and needs , But the things I used to give -and willingly so- are now missing me Or I miss them , that besides the point , With them in your hands I fail to feel whole , So let me dissect your brain , to figure which part of every memory  belonged to me To attempt to seek and find the things that now make you 'you' , that actually stem from me . I’m sorry , or probably not all , I don’t seem to a give a single thought about you being empty I just need the love you stole from me This is a another classic instance of **** or be killed , In a way this for my survival , and thus I must **** You , it all seems to begin with you . All the things that hurt me , simply make you stronger Cause I didn’t steal from you And my heart weighs heavier than you on the balance of honesty

The beauty in theft
And it’s ugly . All things are ugly in the end , Do some harbour the capacity of only seeing the good ? The ugly is all I see in the end . The  links that tie us are so beautiful yet so raw , Drowned in a color that is ours but also everyones The links that tie us are of a deep red , running in our veins in a way that’s so coarse I wonder if we’re the only ones . The beauty we basked in before the storm removed its light , Still lingers in that beautiful soul of ours . But it has  been sullied , beaten and rendered useless By love itself , by the adoration , trust itself . Love : what a destructive thing , No matter the nature , it’s way of functioning seems to be a never wavering scheme One that is the most fulfilling sight you’ll ever lay your eyes upon , Before every crevice of the thing you once adored turns into to ash and bone Its so fascinating , is it not ? The way we tumble and fall , but still lift ourselves up The way we get a little bit uglier , a little more lost   At every twist and turn , we lose something that we were made of And I’ve lost , lost so much in you . May I reach for your heart , rip it from your chest to allow myself to feel full again ? Or maybe -and only if you let me- would you let me retrieve my books from your shelves , I know you read them , understood them and bare with me , annotated them but they are mine , May I have them back ? It’s in no way that I wish to taint you furthermore with my obligations and needs , But the things I used to give -and willingly so- are now missing me Or I miss them , that besides the point , With them in your hands I fail to feel whole , So let me dissect your brain , to figure which part of every memory  belonged to me To attempt to seek and find the things that now make you 'you' , that actually stem from me . I’m sorry , or probably not all , I don’t seem to a give a single thought about you being empty I just need the love you stole from me This is a another classic instance of **** or be killed , In a way this for my survival , and thus I must **** You , it all seems to begin with you . All the things that hurt me , simply make you stronger Cause I didn’t steal from you And my heart weighs heavier than you on the balance of honesty
the art of giving being such a contradictory thing , so virtuous yet so sly and msichevious
