Exes Be Xed Out

Innocence burned in flames
The moment you called me names
Free me from the pleasure and the pain
You’re driving me insane with your brain
You’re a handsome liar…
I’m on fire with your desire
#feeling all alone again
#Refrain from driving me insane
Feeling frightened of what I’ve become
I’m feeling numb, but I’m as strong as titanium
Sleepless at night…flourishing in the light
Everything’s black and white…let’s fly a kite
Strength and hope I need
Pulling you up like a weed
Texting you for too long
Too many times, I’ve written these songs
Nothing helps me belong
In these arms that are cold and heartless…don’t write all my wrongs
On your paper…
It has no flavor
On your paper…
It has no flavor

Hit me with your best shot, stupid ass
You think you have the highest class?
Try me, try me, try me
Cry a river for eternity
I will be your angel on high
If you be my devil from below
I’m alive when I’m shy
I’m extrovert too, you should know

Out of difficulties, grow miracles
I must’ve talked to you a million times
Shut it with your angelic angles
I’ve made far too many rhymes 
And did so many crimes
This time…
This time…
This time…

I adore you now
I love you somehow
Fantasies bloom when you walk on by
I am as curious as your one and only fly
I’ve died an infinity times…
I am as shiny as dimes
Dine with me with my failures
Be with me in my endeavors
Dine with me in my successes…
XOXO and bye-bye to my exes 

Dreams and nightmares fill my night,
But…shatter me like glass
You’re as fake as a flimsy façade 
Get a ride on my past masquerade

What lies ahead?
My past, present and future
I drop dead instead
You loved her, I’m sure

In a blur, you’re my cure…
But, I must endure…
The pain that’s impure
The therapeutic music numbs the pain – if only…you were here…
Then, I wouldn’t be so full of fear…I want to hold you dear…
Time goes by oh so fast…
The past is surely in the past…

Don’t give me no drama
Sick of the trauma you put me through
Doesn’t matter anymore, mama
I guess I was always and forever blue
