i n f a t u a t e d

sorry

your golden eyes shine like the sun

every time I look at them I see a dangerous kind of fun

intense and bright,

they burn and simmer

but I don't care

for when they're gone, I grow dimmer

without them there is only darkness and night

oh won't you come back and free me from this fright?

swim with me in these pools of spilling, thick honey

but please don't leave if I start to feel funny

I think I may drown

bubbling amongst these heated embers,

unable to make a sound

slowly slipping away for no one to remember

perhaps we can go and pick flowers then?

in the broad, warm sunlight which kisses your skin

do you want a daisy chain or tulip ring?

I promise I'm not making these to confirm my sin

we can lay here and mellow,

watching the clouds breeze by

hidden amongst the sunnyside yellow

feeling euphoric from a dreamy high

but be careful you don't get hurt,

these roses around us have thorns

that may slice you up like a dessert,

even though their petals feel soft like a newborn

confusion appears all over your beautiful face

maybe we should stop

and take a break

these violent delights

are leaving us in a torturous state

we must discuss this elephant in the room

instead of leaving it to grow and bloom

until one night you shall wake me with a fright

enraged and broken;

I am no longer what you thought I might

I should have known; it was plain to see

I was avoiding all the pain and misery

by shifting and ignoring the truth

I was putting on a facade

I'm sorry that I hurt you,

that's the least I can say.
