ephemeral
Always wrote about everything but myself
It's difficult to be honest although ephemeral
I'm failing at everything I try because of you
I can't keep my focus when you're lingering
The back of my mind has been caged off with you inside it
Whether you stay to torment or find yourself a way out
Ethereal contemplation could float upon clouds
I'll stand and look up at you as you are my Aphrodite
It's hard to compare a person to a goddess
Try to make a deity from a heartbeat
Hide the tears falling down your face
They're like a monolith, they're always the same
Did it hurt more when you left or when I returned?
My words can cause the same damage to your mind as a blade to your skin
Do you regret what you did, but can't find a way to make it right?
If that's the case then close it, come back as you left
I loved the old you, does that mean I don't love you?
How shameful it may be, for someone who could soar the skies
I was caught by someone who does not even possess limbs
Wrap your scales around my feathers and sink your teeth deep
Hiding in the tall grass isn't where I'd expect a goddess
