The Brink of Happiness and Obsession

Starry night Something bright Guide me to the answer tonight Bring me to reason Give me something good Give me something worth while There is nothing but shame and confusion Broken bottle You’ve only made a fool of yourself Jealousy, obsession, whatever you want to call it Lay with me, lay with me Say you love me I have nothing to say, but goodbye I knew that you would just hurt me like everyone else has There was a time in life when second chances existed When love was nothing close to infatuation You’ve gone too far this time, you’re tripping over your own feet You’re wandering on a thin rope between happiness and obsession You’re losing your balance You’re losing your strength You’re falling, you’re falling Lay with me, lay with me Say you love me Say it A change of thought is in order A change of heart has already been processed You wanted demons, now you’ve got them My rage and your stupidity feed off of each other Shattered bottle You’re such a fool Slam the door You hold such negativity I refuse to live with it anymore Starry night Something bright What is wrong, what is right? Lay with me, lay with me Say you love me SAY IT! There is no possible way that you could ever understand Is there even anything? There are no second chances All is done, all is said If your heart was really broken You’d be dead Lay with me, lay with me Say you love me Say it We know this was only forced infatuation Broken bottle, you’re such a fool On your way to happiness Ended up with obsession

I love the emotional journey this piece took me on. Also, the line, "If your heart was really broken You’d be dead" - Soooo good! Congrats on the well-deserved feature spot.
