Love can make you a slave
To its charms
The come and go of the hearts pulse
In the throat of a lover

Love can be a laugh
A high five
A smile
But love won't be around for a while

I remember what "love" used to be
The carefree innocence
Climbing that tree
....towards freedom

I dropped my innocence
The climb became hard
And right now I feel....
I cant say it
Cant make the words form on lips
When I see the face in my dreams
The face I loved
That left me
On the steep climb up
I lose my innocence and watch it shatter
Below me
Jagged rocks tear at its core

Ripped innocence
Right now
I feel....
Mentally
Scarred

No other way to put it
Drown in the cesspit
Hate surrounds you
Going down
Down
Down

Screaming names
That mean nothing
To the ears
That may hear
The final death cry
Of love.
Shouting words
That mean everything
To no one
You know the song?
The words?
Dancing to the same tune?
I've lost the reason I had
I lost it when I lost you
This may seem
Melodramatic..
But I promise you..
I can't promise anything
I can't keep a word I say

There's another word
I crave the feeling of saying
Knowing that it means everything
To me
Yet nothing
To you
Hurts me

My sweetness
The rose that tumbles into my path
I will twine you into my life
You will live, forever in my buttonhole
The adventures we have will be slow
The dew in the mornings
Will rest in your petals once more
You will shake in the wind as we run
Your thorns will scratch my skin
And we can drift down the lonely coast
Just me and you
