"Don't you want to come with me?"
       There's a truck in the back
       waiting for you

       One step around the corner
       and there it is, your magic carpet

       Take his hand, it is your light, your guide
       "Don't you want to feel my bones on your bones?"
       You feel your face form a smile but you're apprehensive

       One last hesitation.  One last look back.  One last sigh.
                      And then a leap

                      Cold metal presses against your skin
                      "My love for you is better than diamonds."
                      The wind whistles a gentle tune. You feel like crying.

                      The moon winks at you, suggesting perfection
                      The stars glow with wonder.  They're watching

"To you everything I bestow"
Shadows grow, stand up, approach you
Hide in his eyes. The moon has set

You check your pulse.  Steady heart beat
You don't believe it. Check his.  Same beat

You say "Kiss me and tell me it's not broken"
A quick kiss on your forehead feels cold and wet
"I'll give you the stars from the bruised evening sky"

Everything is bruised tonight.  The stars refuse to look at you
It is broken
