There were nights the breeze would kiss my cheeks
The sky would blanket me in darkness
I was surrounded by giggling companions
Or sometimes looming street lights
I didn't understand fear
Never gave a second thought to my actions
Bruises and blood were paid as prices
But only on the surface
What I lost after those countless nights
Was more than skin and friends
I doused myself in lies and misconceptions
Thinking if I forgot everything, things would be perfect
Nothing lasts when the labor includes losing yourself
I couldn't recognize my own reflection when morning came
I've forever forgotten bliss after those stars left me
And all I had was a cloudy sky, hazy memories
There came a day when I woke up
Realized I couldn't remember why I had done what I done
Something was missing from those reckless nights
And that was my own ability to distinguish from
Like and love
