Nightmares In Paradise

I sit looping nightmares in paradise 
perfuming my skin with rose scented tears; 
My mind keeps replaying my deepest fears;
With you nothing feels like a sacrifice
attraction suffocates and smells so nice;
Seeing you smile my mind completely clears; 
All of my hesitation disappears; 
I know now I don’t need my own advice;

The optimism that you bring to me 
administering peace I am stable; 
Flying on happiness I’ve never known, 
no matter what I trust you completely; 
It leaves me feeling impenetrable, 
reminiscent of petals made of stone.
