• I’ve got this hole,
    so deep in my soul.
    I lost my way somewhere down the road.
    And when you walked in,
    my heart skipped a beat.
    Or two,
    It’s true.
    You were something that broke the mold.
    My soul, I sold.
    To feel something more than the dirt from these god forsaken roads.
    I’ve walked them for years,
    Speak, my dear, I’m all ears.

    And you spoke,
    like you figured me out with just a few breaths.
    I buried my heart deep within your breast.
    We shared its pulse.
    We masked the trust.
    And fled this town.
    Two lovers,
    So far from home.
    Basking in the shame,
    And sin of the dirty game we played.
    On nights like these, I wish I would have stayed.

    Home, that is.
    Away from the pain you brought to this,
    Boy. Man. Dreamer. Lover.
    You brought the flood,
    Drowned me out for an others comfortable covers.
    I taste it on your lips,
    I see him in your eyes,
    His hands wrapped around your hips,
    The guilt between your thighs.
    I see him, dear.
    Everywhere I tried to keep you near.
    Who is this deceiver?
    Who is this other disgusting dreamer?

    The mirror on the wall,
    I have been standing here for days it seems.
    It all runs together,
    In this lost land of dreams.
    I brought floods.
    I brought fire.
    I lit the match.
    Burned down all our desires.
    I took what was left of you,
    And me.
    And I threw it all away.
    I drowned you in the sea,
    Him in the river.
    Then I saw him.
    The retched deceiver.

    The water filled my lungs.
    What a strange love.
    In retrospect,
    I killed our love,
    And us with it.
