love is much like a weapon sharp and unforgiving m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

i stood uncloaked in this dethroned devotion blood of broken vows seeping through the floors as you drove calloused hammers through conviction m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

i gladly laid bare ribs pried apart by your demanding hands m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

let silence be my agonizing mausoleum where even death's echoes get entombed m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

in search of a love that is gone and left me in the dark all alone

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

in the night my heart aches my soul like the moon half awake

your presence waxes and wanes leaving me lost in the midnight yearning for your return

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

i see her in my dreams, a vision fair her beauty haunting, and her grace divine but when i reach out to touch her there i find she's but a figment of my mind

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

my thoughts are filled with her, day and night her voice, like a whisper in the wind echoes in my heart, a love so kind

oh, how i long to be by her side to feel her touch, to bask in her light to know her soul, to hold her tight

i dream of her, night after night and i know, that even though we are apart she will always be, the one in my heart

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

she is the night and i am the dreamer lost in the labyrinth of her desire and as i fall deeper and deeper my soul is set ablaze like a raging fire

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

like snow that falls and covers all in white i give until there's nothing left to give the chill of winter numbs me with its bite as empty and alone i fight to live

a fire once blazed with warmth and light a spirit giving with all my might but now the flame has flickered out leaving me stranded alone in doubt

the snow falls gently from the sky a quiet shroud to muffle the sigh the chill seeps in and takes my heart leaving me shattered torn apart

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

the night envelops me in its arms a cloak of darkness and despair as i wander through its lonely streets i can feel the weight of my heartbreak there the stars above twinkle in the distance like distant beacons of hope but their light is feeble and fleeting no match for the pain that I must cope the moon casts a silver shadow a melancholy glow upon my face it's as if the night knows my sorrow and offers me its silent embrace

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

in the darkness of my heartbreak i find solace in the stars above for they too are broken, scattered lights shining bright in their shattered love

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

and though the heart may ache and bleed and though the tears may fall and speed the beauty of nature's mournful art reminds us that love will never depart

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

the flowers that once bloomed so bright now wilt and wither in the fading light their colors faded, their beauty gone just like the love that couldn't hold on

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

he was so pretty so perfect until i broke him with my wretched heart and my gloomy demeanor

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

i listened last night to the song that we both liked a bittersweet mark that you left on me

m.s.

[goodnightxstarry]

my heart is racing even though my blood runs cold cold fingertips on my once warm skin the feeling of tears that never leaves my blank eyes why did you leave me

m.s.
