As much as I loved him,

and it was a lot.

I couldn't convince myself

to sell the dreams that had

always galvanized me

for a ring and a white picket fence

Undress these beautiful lies

Blind me with animal eyes

Carve your heart into mine

Carve your heart into mine

Brush me with venomous lips

Tear me to passionate strips

Stir up the beast inside

Stir up the beast inside

Until it hurts

Until it hurts

You learn a lot more about a person when you walk in uninvited. 

The puzzle pieces finally seemed to fall into place. Like all our brokenness could be put back together again and create the life we once talked about. But what was to fill the empty cracks of our despair except a void of loneliness.

And the worst pain was knowing that I couldn't do anything to stop the raging hurricane from devouring me.

It was somewhere between here and there that we lost ourselves. The quirks we once loved about each other became qualities we began to despise. The meals we shared were no longer gourmet, but ash in our mouths. Words were transformed from loving embraces to deep cuts on our skin. And all the while we thought we were invincible. We were fools.
