The difference is me...
The scars scraped in my memory...

You broke the spell I called life with our first stolen kiss,
taking me by surprise with passion I fell into you, let go of what I thought was right,
to surrender to the colors of the night.

At first we cruised down the highway of secret discovery,
denying the truth by creating our own reality.
Your touch evoked a new harmony,
I surrendered to your desire as it swallowed me.

Drifting in our world, denying the earthquake giving around us,
allowing our indulgence of loves wine, enjoying our spree.
Forgetting the warm burn that followed as we drank each-other in,
never knowing this would end.

I lost and gave everything just to be near you.
Habits and responsibility that had formed my destiny, with you left me.
When did it all go wrong?
Once you had me I became your possession,
no longer an obsession.

I still remember the first time you struck me.
It was a sharp pain that threw my balance off of trust and security.
I trusted you, telling myself at least it wasn't infidelity.
When did your gaze forget me?
With no regret, you watched my tears flow fluently.

Sure, you were always sorry with empty promises of change,
when did your love smother my breath away, leaving this cage?
I was addicted to our poetic cycle.
Always with a passionate revenge you were quick to comfort me and make amends.

I was going to leave you once, but you cut yourself to prove your loyalty.
Played on my love for you,
threatened your life to bring me back to our violent sea.
Our last fight left me more than broken, but empty.

Thought the cuffs would fall by morning like before, but you were ****** into the system of past wrongs affliction.
Now I've picked up the pieces and I'm not the same person,
never will I deny, we did love, but it was a toxic addiction.

I'm writing you to say...

Time has taken you away and I can't hold on to who we were.
We were loves catastrophe,
the difference is me.
