emotions inside started overpowering
looking kissable and irresistible
heart weakened by sweet temptation
blinded by love and giving in like a fool
chasing after my dreams into your arms
only to be ignored and rejected
falling deeper and deeper in the fire
still risking everything
whatever I do is never enough
I wonder what did I do so wrong
my heart still beats like mad
knees shake whenever I see you
yet you glare at me like I wasn't human
what more could you want or need
I give my all
In return you treat me like a ghost
Perhaps I never was loved at all
not even by my family
everything was just a sweet illusion
your behavior has turned into poison
because now I long to be like you
then maybe you'll notice me
looking kissable and irresistible
heart weakened by sweet temptation
blinded by love and giving in like a fool
chasing after my dreams into your arms
only to be ignored and rejected
falling deeper and deeper in the fire
still risking everything
whatever I do is never enough
I wonder what did I do so wrong
my heart still beats like mad
knees shake whenever I see you
yet you glare at me like I wasn't human
what more could you want or need
I give my all
In return you treat me like a ghost
Perhaps I never was loved at all
not even by my family
everything was just a sweet illusion
your behavior has turned into poison
because now I long to be like you
then maybe you'll notice me

oh my, dear...
your word choice was one to wonder about
twas very good!
the ending protests meh own personal opinions, but in my statement, you may ignore me XD tis just a personal thing. XDDDDD
other than that, this was very good.
it had very good flow and i especially liked the lines what read:
"chasing after my dreams into your arms
only to be ignored and rejected
falling deeper and deeper in the fire
still risking everything"
twas a great write

a very well versed piece although punctuation would have been good. caps and commas. a very sad piece but beautifully written,

Usually I would do commas and stuff but the song inspired me so much that I didn't add them in this time because if you review the lyrics you'll see that it doesn't have them

Ty for your comment
