Midnight Lullabies

35 | Secrets

I see you sprinkle my morning coffee with sugar
What you don't know is that I recognize the difference between pixie dust and poison.

Our eyes are drained of energy,
Our mouths dry of compliments,
Our hearts hollow of love.

I lost myself in the chambers of your soul
Only then did I realize you are a maze and not a path.

I let myself flow in your scorching blood
In desperate hopes I'll be taken back to your heart.

However, one second in hell feels like an eternity
Before I knew it I was already burnt to a crisp.

Before the dawn I pray
For the nights to be a little shorter.

I see your core rot until you smell foul
The clink of glass bottles in the trash is the only explanation.

Perhaps you've found your escape
And I'm yet to find mine.

He shall beware for I know.
I know the difference between pixie dust and poison.
I know the difference between night shifts and midnight desserts.
