Tortured Love

A Boy With Roses

Half of your body is missing and your heart is hurting                                                          

And it feels like nothing can ever be complete                                                                            

We're black and blue, and we don't sway to the beat                                                                        

We don't feel like we used to                                                                                                    

Like we used to do when we were young and falling in love 

 

Everything is changing faster than the sky                                                                                

Faster than we can reconcile, real when we're in dreams                                                              

No need for air when we have no fears, I remember                          

Your smile, your soft hands, I'm laying in your warm arms                                            

Kissing you in your bedroom, I love you like your sweet stains                                      

Your sweet smoke permeating  

 

You make me feel like I'm home, like I belong                                                                      

Like there's nothing to figure out, our life is a beautiful song                                                        

Love turning tables, when I wipe your tears away                                                                            

In our hopes we are bright and nothing can stop us                        

One more night to heal, to see the day, notice the space                          

I fell in love with a ghost drowning in the lake                                                                          

A good man, but he never stayed 

 

Wild love, wild love is tortured love                                                                                      

Tortured love, tortured love is wild love                                                                                

Wild love, a feast                                                                                                          

Tortured love, we can't speak of 

 

Beating with these nocturnal frequencies                                                                                

I study you like I study the time between moons                                                                  

Solitude, a free floating spirit, I'm trapped in its grip                                                            

Trapped in the love for... the love for                                                                                  

Our angels, our warriors                                                                                                              

It's cold outside, but the moon is wary                                                                                

She's looking down on us 

 

She knows                                                                                                                                    

She knows 

 

Half of your body is missing and your heart is hurting                                                          

And it feels like nothing can ever be complete                                                                            

We're black and blue, and we don't sway to the beat                                                                        

We don't feel like we used to                                                                                                    

Like we used to do when we were young and falling in love.

    Our angels, our warriors... a succinct, hard-hitting description... perhaps the two perfect facets of our ideal being, the soul we hope is within us, or the spirit watching over us... angelic and ferocious, gentle yet powerful. When one thinks of the Miltonian battles between the forces of heaven and hell, one pictures warrior-angels. I ramble, but you made me do it!

      Warrior-angels, love it. I'm quite amused. I harvested this from the dampest cloud in my mind, about how love is almost like a cage. The battle between holding on and letting go, kinda thing. How love can haunt you to a debilitating point of no return. Only heaven knows how we manage to cope.
