And the sky began to burn.
My heart lies upon the turn of passion.
Where are the eyes that set in my soul?
My turn.
We learn.
Love burns.
Is there a second chance?
There are falling skies.
Everyone cries.
Everybody tries.
Let us take one last ride.
Even when the skies start falling.
And I still feel it burning.
there was a time, I let you pick;
at every single fault and flaw
you'd poke and prod at everything,
until imperfections were all I saw.
the fact you could pinch,
that excess on my hip.
or where I fell once,
leaving a scar upon my lip.
my hair wasn't bleached
my skin was too pale.
my bones were brittle,
and my body frail.
my legs were muscle,
not slender like you want.
my lips weren't plump,
my stomach was taunt.
I starved myself and I morphed,
until every aspect was changed.
looking in the mirror, nothing more,
than once beauty now deranged.
once I was, exactly what you wanted,
the beauty you wished portrayed.

Blame, Shame, and Addition
Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me.

If each one found itself somewhere else, then each one would become a two.
And there'd be one for me and one for you.
If each look was a one,

The emotions I deny
That I've completely willed away
Dearest beloved,
Who tempts me most well
I can't find my escape

my desires simmer
trapped by your gaze
I wonder if I can escape

My dearest beloved,
It's not my place to say
all the words choke inside
and get in the way
If I could speak to you
these things I hold inside
I wonder what you'd do..
But, I'm too afraid to speak
the things that
