Burn
hearts
they break
souls
they crush
voice
they shun
dreams
they shatter
what's it like to be in love you ask?
ask them what heartbreak is,
and they'll weave stories
intricacy in the web of lies they've spun
naivete is a cruel thing darling,
for the words may flatter
but the truth will devour you
Materialistic world
Materialistic you
wishing for love so true
when you're rotten
don't let the hope go to rest
for in every minefield, there's a treasure
every love song you play
may it tear you up
may it make you smile
for what is life,
If it's not a fresh burn of memory?
