All dressed up in diamonds and made up eyes
With scarlet lips under darkening skies
I go to meet my other half for the first time in my life
So I open the latch and walk right inside
He sits on the desk, stiff and honor bound
Or what's left of him anyway, because no one is around
And as I brush my fingertips over the ancient cover
Cracks start to form and I weep for this lover
The heart shaped book was touched by decay
But my curiousity was enough to make me stay
I'd give anything to see those pages covered in my ink and writing
With my words printed in his heart and my kisses the binding
But if a single touch makes everything fall apart
Nothing is worth breaking this hallowed heart
So I turn around and walk away
All dressed up futilely for a morbid parade
A little part of me still hoped he'd appear and reach out a hand
But nothing is worth everything falling apart all over again
