I'll never be enough for you
It dawned on me
You know my darkest secrets

holds two tender seeds growing fervently;
both longing for the blueness of my tears,
which possess a certain kind of purity.

Keeping truths enclosed
Barring words to pass the lips
Words leaving us exposed

And maybe that's what's safer
Than what I'm about to do
But we only get one life to live
And in my life,...

like you stole 
my last heart before it hit the ground
Crook thief is what you are
you claim you my best friend

the music not as sweet now

Into the solar system
Outreaching myself
Intense grief, mourning
Into cake and wedding dress
