Cracked veneers and bleeding lips,

I’d do it all over again for you.

For in this moment, you are the most important thing to me.

I’ve held my heart in my hands for you,

and you embraced me in the way that's made for films. 

I want to know everything about you;

From the things you love to the things you fear.

I will test your patients and you will test mine.

I will turn my lust into unbridled works of art and

you will turn your desire into unfathomable life experiences.
„Everything Is Blue“

Destruction and creation is what love is about. 

Hypnotise me with the sparkles that coat your love

and tell me to forget what life is all about. 

I’d follow you to the ends of this Earth,

never once looking back.

Burn me beautiful.

Burn me true.

Love me when the rain is pouring down.

Love me when the snow flurries around us.

Love me when the sun is blistering above.

Love me when the leaves turn and coat the ground.

I want to embrace all the seasons of your love;

taste all of your flavours and drink in all you offer me. 

„Bleach 2.0“

I’d tell you that trouble is a friend of mine and you’d 

have no trouble believing it.

You see the darkness that moves me.

You see the darkness that arouses me.

I am the eye of the storm.

I am the sea that you both love and fear.

You desire my beauty.

You desire my pure heart. 

Beneath layers of smeared makeup and 

empty sentiments lays a soul that wants to be free.

I am everything sweet.

I am everything tart. 

„I Am Elizabeth“

I’ll never forget the first day I laid

eyes on you.

It was a cool spring day,

wet leaves wired around us.

I caught your eye in mid afternoon and

in that instant, I wanted to know everything about you.

I stepped into your world and  never looked back.

I didn’t know that it wasn’t meant to last.

I wrote you a love letter, placed it in a bottle and sent it

down the river. 

With trembling hands you opened it and

dragged me into your embrace.

Warm and safe in your arms is where I thought

I’d always stay. 

But it was a warm summer morning when I learned it

was not meant to be.

I awoke to find you gone and a letter addressed to me.

Through your twisted penmanship and the silence

I realised all of my mistakes.

You were gone and you were never coming back.

All I could do was sit and stare at the morning sun

and wonder how loving someone so deep could be taken

as a mistake.
