Heart-Shaped Top

Trying to keep numb By words soft and sweet Thought I was in control but I'm not Fact: I'm swept off my feet I feel temptation creeping I don't know how to make it stop This is what I deserve Heart spinning like a top I am tired of fighting the feelings The truth in my gut Face not the easiest to read My written words betray what's shut Eating my cold composure Barriers in my mind Any second will be consumed Too much love declined My confused body might collapse and cave Toxic with desire Skies blue through foolish eyes Underneath lay brimstone and fire Our souls made to come together Rip apart as we tragically fall Loving is beautiful but I'd rather Escape pain and feel nothing at all
