It's a thrill I can't shake
yeah I know we've been writing a mistake
but it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn
I was caught in an awkward silence
broken down by the sound of your prelude that you played
to open our symphony

As the roses lift their heads to catch a glimpse of my demise
you'll be throwing lies around like ocean waves throw down the tides
and they are breaking on my shore
and the rescue team won't save me now I'm out too far

I can see where you are
I can tell you're enjoying it so far
I would love to escape, but now I'm bound
by the of burn of your eyes
looking on as I'm starting to realize
I'm a pawn in your game and this is checkmate

So I'll waste these nights for a while
but I'll be holding onto you forever
and this is where my heart is cold and torn
as I hear the words you're saying tonight
I'm falling for them every single time

From the lack of sleep & the bloodshot eyes
To the nervous kiss & the butterflies
Does this make any sense at all
We are not sleeping & Im not breathing
If this means anything at all
I wont let you leave me anymore

"My stomach gets filled with clouds
and i'm walking on butterflies."

((from my poem "Contorted Perfection" ))

I was born to tell you I love you
isn't that a song already
I get a B in originality
and it's true I cant go on without you
your smile makes me see clearer
if you could only see in the mirror what I see

Personal affection is a luxury you can have only after all your enemies are eliminated. Until then, everyone you love is a hostage, sapping your courage and corrupting your judgment

It's never easy to understand
why memories hold our hand,
but people let go ..

You have a pull on my heart
no matter how far you are.
You make me hope that one day my life will
become that wish being carried on a shooting star.

((from my poem "Contorted Perfection"))
