Hollowed Love


Sacrifice bliss
For a momentary kiss
It's the point you miss

Your memory fades
And feelings recede from my fingertips

Blessed light, blessed night
The passion burnt out
There is precision in a nightmare
But not for you, not for you

They call me an empty dreamer
Because I can't catch a firefly

Don't you dare look away from me

Sacrifice bliss
For a momentary kiss
It's the point you miss

You cleverly smirk
And righteousness dies in my heart

Blessed me, blessed she
A perfunctory performance
There is indecision in passion
But not for me, not for me

They call me an empty lover
Because I can't catch your heart

Please don't look away from me

Sacrifice bliss
For a momentary kiss
It's the point you miss

Your love was once held hallow
But now I see your love
Was simply hollow

Simply hollow, simply hollow

You always did look away from me

Sacrifice bliss
For a momentary kiss
It's the point you miss

You never really saw me to begin with

"You always did look away from me" tells the whole story in itself. Nicely written, Christopher.
