Hollow

I burned my hand 
on the stove again
longing for it's heat
thinking it a friend
But instead it scars
Instead it burns
Sucking my oxygen
It seems I'll never learn
Like a moth to light
Tricked by it's beauty
flickering and bright
It feels so warm 
it lures me in
I long to meld into it
to peel of this skin
A chocolate Easter bunny 
Just waiting to melt
Destined to desire
This fire I felt.

Love Me Like I Love

I thought if I had patience
I thought if I had faith
I thought if I could wait
You'd come home to me

So I gave with all I had
And I loved with all I could
But it's time 
I left this broken home behind

Now I'm packin up my bags
I'm headin towards the street
To find a place
Where I'll be whole again

To find a place where I'll be whole again

and find someone who'll love me like I love

Sour

Fooled again
Thinking that you could change
or be what you were
Thinking that this time
Things would be different

And I've become that girl
That I feared as a child
I've become that women
That's afraid to love

I feel so robbed
I feel so cheated

I'm a dreamer
I'm a believer
I believe in magic
I believe in true love

But my heart is so shattered
I can't put it back together

And I can't shake you
It's disgusting and sad
Thinking you my destiny
my soul mate gone sour

All I know is betrayal
All I know is lies
Is this my inspiration?
Is this how I survive?
