A firefly distal not east but west,
Encased in white crystals it safely lands,
It's light is divinity, a taste of the past,
A halo is given and lays on the sand,

A butterfly withers right under the sand,
In strange tounges it whispers "let go of my hand"
It's black and defected as it slowly ends,

A red bathtub holds,
The rose that you chose

Rage fuelled agony all in his head

The now is his but the rest is lost again
A memory of laughter grazing his skin

Sinking in his shame, red dagger, blue fire
Weights so heavy it crippled his posture

My eyes blinded by the foggy dense light
My hands tremble in the wake of the night
Her face captivates me,
But also suffocates me,
Rejections too strong for me,
I feel so much it kills me,

Realize this is no phase,
I rip off this bandaid,
Her ghost now disappears,
To never reappear ,
This pain's beyond too real,
These wounds will never heal,

I'll sit here by the pier,
With feelings so severe,
I'm honest and sincere,
To me it's very...
