We love that we're toxic.

I don’t want to save you for a rainy day,

Because we are the storm.

I don’t want you to buy me flowers,

Because you are the thorns

I can’t fall asleep in your arms,

For you are the nightmare

Can’t trust my own reflection,

The moon blinds with a glare.

And I really can’t remember,

If what was left was ever enough

Fighting with gunpowder,

Because we’re made of that stuff.

 

-Taylor

 

And I crave your poison.
