So This Is Love?

I told you that I paint my skies

The color of my pain

How deep is your love

When you can't stand in the rain?

You awoke a beast within me

You straddled and you pinned me

Pierced through all my walls

And scarred initials in me

I took all the blame

You did just the same

The guilt we both assumed

Drove us both insane

So this is love, my dear?

Said work for said gain

What a privilege it is for lovers

To pick and choose our pain

You hide in the sun

I'll hide in the rain

We we both know is buried now

Along the beach on Lover's Lane

Goodbye to what we were

Goodbye to what we'd be

Goodbye to all the love in you

That once belonged to me
