I only pick the roses that stand in our path
Your beauty goes unmatched

This smoke screen
A ruse to throw me off
This staunch scent
I can barely breathe
Words fail me
Paranoid and wary
Oh, how easily i'm deceived

Like a sucker to the yellow kid,
I'm enthralled in this illusion
You conceal your intentions artfully,
A gracious gift
You beguile me
I'm helpless to your control
Oh, how easily i'm deceived

Your front is peace-loving
Yet, i know no peace
and love has eluded me
Neither impatient nor angry
But this rod on my neck tells a different story
Still, your smile charms me
Oh, how easily i'm deceived

The role naive suits you
A befitting cloak for your bland tales
An unrepentant rogue
Harmless and banal
You lure me
Oh, how easily i'm deceived.

First date at a random playground
You sat in the swing next to mine
Chased me around
Never running out of time
Your lips, made me nervous
Messed up, the first kiss
I looked down, embarrassed
Teenage, innocence
Laid beneath the trees
Felt you pressed up against me
Watched the leaves sway slowly
Helplessly attached instantly

I want that puppy love back
Those jump in, don’t question moments of clarity
Bringing out the naive side of me
Craving the love song mentality
Warm summer sun filled our lungs
Walking hand in hand to puppy love
Mixed with the rebellion of reality,
That’s never visible to young kids like you and me.

Never again will we love so blindly and so full
Never again will we decide before we think
Never again will we fall before we meet
Never again will months feel like one blink
But you’re never supposed to even consider
These things when you’re
Running around a playground
Convinced that it’s more
Than puppy love.

the monster that people say I am
is nothing but parts of them
they built over me
their gullible blank space

Fell in love at 1,
Thought about him till 2.,
Confessed my love at 3,
Just to get rid of that feeling-
Knowing nothing would happen, really...

Time passed between 4 and 5,
And by 6 I was his and he was mine.,
We met and talked,
And by 7 I was blind with love.

Around came 8,
We held hands and smiled,
Like little kids we giggled and sighed.

Soon after it was 9,
His chapped and rough lips...
were already on mine.,

At 10 he held me in his arms,
Whispering sweet lies,
Making my heart whine.

Around came 11 and he...
wanted something I could not give away.

Pressure over pressure,
Between 12 and 14,
Lots of tears were spilled
For I felt like an object
Who only had one purpose.

15, 16, 17, 18,
He needed some time for thinking.,
Meantime... I was breaking.

At 19 I wanted to meet,
For I was aching and needed relief
But at 20, with no words,
he told me to leave...

21, 22, 23,
I waited so long.,
Still... I waited for him, though.

Time turned around,
And it was 00 again.,
He told me through a text:
"I love you no more".

In a world full of locked doors,
You hold the key to mine.

Once upon a time
I believed in love
In fate and blessings
From the angels above
I believed in kisses
In long talks forever
In two happy lovers
Never to sever
I believed I'd find you
I hoped for what I'd seen
On pages of stories
And dancing on the screen
Once upon a time
I believed in us
But fairytales deceived me
As dreams withered to dust
