Blossom

Bruised and beaten
Scared and alone
You shed your tears
And seek a shelter.

My arms would wrap around you
But now you are afraid
Afraid to be harmed again
Afraid of the pain.

But I have a secret.
I am not as cruel as I seem.
I put up a mask
So you cannot see my face.

My heart has been betrayed.
She caused my soul to weep.
She said she would love me always
That she wouldn't hurt me.

You know the ending of her love
And my my phobia of it.
I am afraid of giving my heart away again.
I am afraid it will be returned broken.

That is why I am this way.
That is why I make you cry.
It is a simple reason.
I fear my heart may die.

I wish to god
That I could love you as I did.
I wish my heart wasn't a coward.
I wish it would mend.

I would do anything to have that back.
You deserve it and more.
You are an angel of heaven
And I brought you to my Hell.

However you remain happy.
You remain content
Until that bruise blossomed.
You realise I am not heaven sent.

So die with me in our inferno.
We'll be lovers until the end,
We can fear the world together.
We'll break our hearts forever.

No matter what I will love you
Even if you leave me
Even if my soul is slipping.
