A Place Where Oleanders Bloom

Love From Above

With calloused hands and angry eyes

I watched myself fall into his little lies

Bit by bit I ruined my insides,

Held my tongue and muffled my cries

I smiled at him with hopeful eyes, but little by little inside I died

Dead, that's what I am, a dead woman 

Who so ever finds me, finds a broken heart

Unhealed and raw, unlike any heart you've ever saw

With soulless eyes and a brisk walk I cross the pathways between life and death, 

My destiny, undetermined, my future set

I can't deny that I love it here, I long after his love

I ignore clear warning signs, love from above
