I’m the first you told The others knew before me Love and misery Love crushed by desire Afraid ready to take flight
Depressed down and up Look for success yet unsure Alone and afraid
Shallow grave control Sideways an easy way out You dare surrender
Memories linger One’s past doesn’t define one Shallow grave awaits
Try not to love Must stay in touch with myself Easier to be dead Left to say nothing Left to wonder if I care
Pieces of my love Taken for a life recharge Discarded when done
Lost within control Each direction leads back here Like you the lonely Good enough for me I know all I’m living for
Underneath your smile The flower to my garden A new seed of life
You can shackle you It’s so hungry in the dark It’s some cruel penance Unclear agony Who shows up, who walks away
A fading flower Vulnerable conditions A human compost
Something that was not Feelings met with fear & doubt Festinate the end
Bleed to disappear The past that holds the triggers Erase the patterns Fear of losing love A life forgotten to live
Peripeteia Safe haven turns to fortress Every kiss a lie
Someone to be yours Someone other than myself Someone to be mine
Life one shot away The end is drawing nearer The answer is within reach Tears and loneliness Extreme pleasure then more pain
