When you said you were my firefly, sweetheart,
i never thought you'd ever dream of flying away.
[faster, faster away,
poisonous&wild,
we crept inside the stolen contents of a broken lover's nightmare,
sucking traces of the smoke circles in our pockets,
breathing in&out gusts of dirty oxygen]
We used to laugh at all the broken hearted people,
but now we've become them.

"We are broken, what must we do to restore our innocence
& all the promise we adored?"
"& this drama-filled fest is all my fault, i guess."
"i wipe these make-up smeared eyes to show that i tried."
"exhale; another wasted breath"
"out of touch; out of time."
I'm broken up inside.
I am so hollowed out.
All of the goodnight kisses are wasted with these closed lips,
parting slower & slower and dying quicker.
