when i trusted you

that was the time that i

could breathe

but now i have to hold my breath

each time

you ask me to open

my heart to you

          ~ it pains me to hesitate


if there was 

a star in the sky 

for every time

you made me smile

there would be no darkness

left at night

          ~ you shine so brightly in your efforts


i have a hopeless power

of never knowing 

the distinguishing line

between caring

and careless

that plague me by the daily 

          ~ i just want to sleep and stop having to feel


my torch light shines so pretty

on my cracked skin

when all is dark and red

against the pale moonlight 

          ~ when we romanticise it all


golden are the moments 

i spend with you

now the sun shines dull

          ~ you are so much brighter
