nourish a moonflower tears water her best shield her from the sun- for sunlight burns the thin petals why wont the moon shine down evermore I need its presence as I wilt from this disease that seeks attention from those favorable to my eyes all other doses are fine yet not as potent as that of fine ambrosia leiden with gentle eyes and firm brows sharp jaws and the softest of words timelessly I am in awe over how many petals I've left scattered behind me in my quest- for eternal moonlight

The Devil thought he had me So many times he tapped me And said, “Fall in love with this one.” And I did. The Devil thought he had me. So many times love went wrong He laughed, “He’ll just give up, this one.” And I laughed. The Devil thought he had me. So many times he tried me And cried, “No true love for this one.” And I cried. The Devil thought he had me. So many times he taught me And said, “He is stubborn, this one.” And I learned. The Devil thought he had me. So many times I had him And said, “No, not that one. This one.” And I loved.

Devil Had Me
You know those days when the sky is completely grey and we're afraid it's going to pour rain at any minute? You know how we make it through the storm, but still, we have to acknowledge that the clouds will eventually be back? You just never know when, and you'll never know how hard It'll down poor. It speaks to me on how I, myself express my sadness. These thoughts accumulate over time, they're there. I can sense them, sometimes I can forget them and they'll drift away and the sun will shine, the birds will sing, the sun rays will dance across my skin and all is at peace. Most of the time, that's just not how it works for me.   When I pour out I'm not just displeasing myself, I soak the people around me without warning. I don't want to be like that. I need to learn to love the rain.

Learning to love the rain
A new face A stranger One that can resurrect a withered flower My eyes were stunned It’s more like I’m dreaming Please don’t wake me up This feeling’s overwhelming I think I’m in love But I do not know exactly Is this love at first sight? Why does time run slowly? I was jealous of everyone near you You have hurt me unconsciously I manage to come near you And finally, I was with victory Lots of things happened More on pain than love I became selfish I just wanted to be with you But it turned out That the love I offer is not true Nothing’s wrong with you It’s about me I thought I was in love I thought it was love that I felt I thought you were perfect But I was wrong Love’s not about perfection It’s about accepting flaws And every single thing All I had was infatuation Nothing But a deep, deep thing Now I’ve realized things I’m sorry for all the damage All the troubles And mess Don’t worry, for you, Promise, I will learn to love
