In that brief, monumental space in time
The reality sets in,
That we'll eventually have to say...goodbye.🖤
You could've paid me in kindness.
In fact, that's the currency I prefer.🖤
I want to die by the light of your eyes.
🖤
Sometimes, we all need to sit out in the rain
To remember what tears feel like.🖤
Sugar sweetened acid goes down smoothly,
But eats you from the inside out.🖤
You're the kite and I'm the string
Yet you always resent me
when I pull you back down to Earth.🖤
Peel back the layers
To see where I hide
Cause I'm buried alive,
Dead inside.🖤
The people who say that they want to die or commit suicide are the ones who want to live most. The sad reality is that they didn't know how.
🖤
Love's blossom is the sweetest dew
When I see its bloom,
I think of you.🖤
There is nothing in this life for free
The word shouldn't even exist
Because it's a lie, you see!🖤
Flawless dreams of things to be,
Please save me a seat
For one day I shall have you,
And claim victory, not defeat!🖤
Everything leaves a mark
In one way or another
But some things leave scars...
How you deal with them will determine
Who you truly are.🖤
Even the darkest of nights don't scare me like you do!
🖤
You were like a wrecking ball
That came into my life
Sure, I was already dilapidated
But you finished me off.🖤
Sometimes the one you fall for,
Doesn't want to catch you.🖤
The greatest pain I've ever felt is love.
🖤
Was she brave to only dip her toe in the water, rather than jump in head first? I don't know, but there was beauty in her caution.
🖤
Reflection is hunger in madness.
🖤
My heart beats like a lion
But I have dragon in my veins
It's in there, I tell you...
Just waiting to light my fire!
