How could you be so optimistic about a person who is so obviously consumed by someone else?
I couldn't understand why you wanted me, you couldn't understand why I couldn't want you.
But I don't do things in halves and I was -am- still so fully blinded by the fire in his eyes.
Killing your innocence wasn't something I wanted. God, it was the last thing on my list.

I wandered through the streets tonight, lonely without your company.
How much longer can this go on?
Me wishing you and I still shared the same breath
The circumference of my heart has been diminished since the day you left me
My happiness was multiplied by the ways you said I love you
Divided now by subtle traces you left of your soul in mine

Weathered skins and whittled bones are all that we consist of
And they do not last forever
When will you understand that our breaths are numbered?
Let me love you now while I am still able
Before my skin turns to ashes and my bones into dust

Every curve of your face is familiar
Every word that you speak, I've already heard
I know you better than I know myself
You are a fire that consumes me
But I would gladly spend the rest of my life burning
Knowing you were the one who lit the match

My heart had known no greater despair than the loss of hope.
It had searched far and wide for some simple proof of love's existence.

But blackened hearts and broken promises is all there was to find.

The words spilled from his fingertips and they spoke to me.
Beckoning me to come closer,
To give just a little more.
Shedding my skin, I crawled
Into him, and gave him what he asked for.

When the deed was done, we laid naked by each other but
Somehow worlds apart.
Promises made in the dark are
Forfeited in the light.
