Enigma

I always felt like I wanted it all over;
No feelings; No heartbeat; 
Then I saw you,
and you flipped every single switch inside;
Just like that, I felt alive; 

Extrapolate a reason 
why I had to find you when I did;
When all I wanted was for everything to end;
You’re an enigma;

I wasn’t looking to be raised;
Exhumed,
in a thousand subtle ways;
Just let me go if you don’t want me 
to where I was on my way to;

Extrapolate a reason 
why I had to find you when I did;
When all I wanted was for everything to end:
You’re an enigma; 

I keep a bouquet of dead roses 
holding petals of memories 
frozen in time;
I have scars from their thorns,  
wrapped tightly around my mind;

Extrapolate a reason 
why I had to find you when I did;
When all I wanted was for everything to end;
So help me to decipher; 
I can’t stop until I solve you,
until I understand your enigma.
