Be aware of love
Beware of lust
That comes like
wolf in sheep’s clothing

Let the fair blend
of love and lust
rule  the roost
The child draws
a lovely picture
of a house
so perfect
A mother
with a beautiful smile
A father
with presence...

But it's only
a picture,
afterall
I knew my love was acting too tame
Though my eyes started a tempest from within
You said you dreamed about me
But I said things that saved you from my sin

That wasn’t what you wanted to hear
You wanted me to scare you
To say things that made you feel *****
To do things you never thought you’d do

How do you treat an angel
When you want to act like the devil?
I know the things I want to tell her
I want to take it to another level

But I wasn’t really in your dream
Only your image of me was there
I don’t know the things you want
Should I keep it safe or conquer the fear?

I gave you a glass of wine
Then I kept pouring it all over you
It matched the dress I wanted undone
The purple silk gave me courage to touch you

How do you be a gentlemen
Holding doors open for a princess?
I want lock the door on morality
So your dream will die inside my darkness
This is about a man who is trying to treat a new love right; being a gentleman like he was taught... but in fact he wants to break through all of that and be the wild ****** person that he is but he is afraid it will scare her off. He's unsure of the next step....

What if all the pretty words
we wrote for other people,
We wrote for ourselves?
What if we romanticized about
our own flaws,
Instead of those who shouldn't be
romanticized at all?
What if we wrote our own love letters,
Filled with all our treasures?
Could you write of your own pleasures?
A love poem to yourself
All that you've seen,
All that you've felt
Your freckles, the crinkle by your eye
Your laugh when you're high
The way you sing in the car
All your dreams to somewhere far
Could you find the beauty,
In all the small things?
Do you even feel the orchids
growing within?
No more 'I'm sorry's'
No more sin
I know it's so hard to see,
All that's inside you.
*If only you knew
Orchids mean delicate beauty
