Smokey hazy
Dreamy eyes
A lover's gaze
A sweetheart's kiss
Wanting more
The addiction fuels the flame
The gasoline has run out
Cold so cold
You second guess
You need it though
That fiery passion
Butterflies streaming from the pit of your stomach
Moths that fly towards the dark
Instead of the light
You're falling
Harder than you expected
Didn't ask for this, did you?
It's too late now
Because you're lying on you're back
Staring into those brown glowing stars
Orange
They turn when the moon comes out
Caresses as soft as flower petals
A golden burst of sunshine
When the smile's directed your way
The seas there too
Choppy waters dark blue
Cold and stinging
For some reason you enjoy
The salty taste of your tears
As you watch the sun disappear
It comes and goes
Always leaving you on a merry-go-round
You want off
You crave it to much though
An addiction that you have to feed
No one's called love that have they?
The best and yet worse drug
Gives the highest highs
Drops you to your kness
With the lowest lows
It's inescapable
It's got you in it's grasp
No matter how far or fast you run
You can't outrun it
It's not something from the inside
Rather it's something in you
It leaves and breathes
Whispers seductive flatteries
Blood drips from it's too perfect mouth
The drops sting as they fall upon your skin
The tiny kisses feel like bliss
Until the teeth are digging in
The pain is part of the allure
Isn't it?
You want to see if you can survive
If you can handle love
The sweet nectarine scent lures in unsuspecting victims
Who, unknowingly, have fallen right into the trap
Some make it out
Others spend years trying to undo
Enchantments that entangle their mind
The question I ask,
Which are you?
Enchanted or the Enchanter
Will you survive?
Or will you find yourself like many others
Battling a losing game
Black roses
Hushed whispers
Curling smoke
The scent of broken hearts
Hopeful pleas
Clasped hands holding
Cupid's arrow
Once struck you'll
Live in the cotton candy world
Until you eat you way out
Most don't
Or can't
The sugar stains teeth
Sweetens and taints breath
Oh what it is
To fall in love
To be in love
But oh what a sugar-coated nightmare
The waiting
Wanting
Longing
Ripped wings
Fallen feathers as the angel
Falls from that perfect
Oasis
The ambrosia still dripping
From your lips
Yearning pulls
For that someone to
Love you
Have you...
Have....
You.....
Ever fallen?
