hearts thump triumphantly
poison thick in my veins
your sweet scent fills the room
the sound music to my ears

darkness engulfs our fate
the mist dampens our song
music filled with fear and joy
regrets nowhere to be found

our choice was made
before the question was asked
our actions respond to this
we act with no hessitation

the sunset burned the sky
scorching it with violent reds
stars stole the nothingness
stole the blue of heaven

the moon glared as you stole me
the only thing left of me unbroken
you stole my very being without steeling it at all
i gave it to you

my being, being my heart
always broken never beating
torn by lies and deception
by feelings never known

the water falls at my feet
tiny droplets dance in waves of delusion
happiness pours through crevices
in between rocks of solid pain

but youve helped me recover
holding me high
in your arms i feel
i'm loved
