Blood is spewing between my teeth
Forming bubbles in the cracks
My eyes flipping back
And my hippocampus playing memories like a reel of grainy film
Playing in the back of my skull
This life has become the screen
And all I can see is the movie of my life repeating over and over again in front of me

These patterns never cease,
I've lied and said my pain had decreased
But it's all just a show,
To make myself appear stronger than I really am,
To hide the weakness under the armor
But it's my heart I can't contain
It's too powerful to be detained
It must be expressed
These feelings for you can't remain repressed
And all I can say is love is what I suggest
Between me and you
You'd improve me,
You've already taught me a thing or two

I once was a hypnotic fairy queen
Empress of intangible things
Emotions like fire were carefully hidden
I had hopeless men ravenously smitten
Now I've grown,
And I'm more like a queen of joy and the unknown
I like tinkering with spiritual concepts,
Trying them on for size,
Seeing in which ways these perspectives can open up my eyes

With age and experience
I'm sure of what I want,
What I need
The first time I saw you I couldn't breathe
The first time our eyes met,
I felt like I had known you before
How could it be so,
That I've not known you longer?
I am fond of you,
Your deep blue eyes make me wonder...

Configurations don't lead to conclusions
I have mashups of inklings
But it's all still confusing
Looking back at past relationships,
Well, I don't want to repeat those mistakes again,
But I think we have a good shot of having a happy ending,
And an even better beginning.
