For Stephanie

this is not what i wanted
this pain in my heart
all i do is wonder
is there pain in her heart
this dark cloud i'm under
follows me day and night
and there's something inside of me
screaming somethings not right
this is not lonliness 
but something new
this is how i feel
when i cannot be with you


(inspired by, "Better, The Devil You Know")

Better the Devil You Know

It is so unfair - you’d think I would’ve learnt by now, seen the signs.
They always look so incredibly good, luring me in and before I know it, 
the feelings take over, I fall for the moment...............................

I eat the chocolate bar without a second thought, calories are so evil.
