i.
I am petals of ash ready to fall into your arms
and you know how easy it would be to rip me apart,
leaving me colourless
ii.
I couldn't look straight at you, for fear I'd figure out your lies
and I'm not prepared to destroy this perfect lie just yet,
so keep feeding me pheremones and frolics, I need the rush
that no drug could ever prove enough.
I'm falling into an abyss and I can feel it's bottom
my heart.
iii.
I'm finished with quoting cliches,
so I'll just break silently in your dreams
I'm safer in the centre of a volcano,
the magma is my source of energy
now you've burnt me completely.
I'm afraid this is me breaking down again
and more frightened that I love every tear i shed
it reminds me how I wish we never met.
