Writings
Your love is like an arrow laced with poison,
I’ve ripped it from my heart, yet still it flows,
Through my veins like deadly heroin,
Tightening its grip around my soul.
Each beat is a reminder of the pain,
A toxic rush that I cannot evade,
Your love, a poison coursing through my veins,
Leaving scars upon the heart that it invades.
Yet still, I ache for your forbidden touch,
A masochistic dance, ...
Your love is like an arrow, laced with poison
Drawing me like a moth to light
Cherry red lips dipped in crimson
Light blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight
Warm hugs and smiles delude me so
You act as if I am your only
When the kisses you give are readily bestowed
Leaving me up at night, wondering why I’m so lonely
The next morning I’m up early
To get ready to go to another solemn party
I can’t he...
I gave him the world,
in hopes he’d love me.
He gave it back cold.
I gave him the stars,
in hopes he’d stay.
He gave back embers.
I gave him the oceans,
in hopes he’d be mine.
He gave me the vapor.
I gave him my heart,
in hopes he’d take it.
He gave me the arrow.
I gave him my back,
in hopes I’d forget.
He gave me the knife.
“Your love was an arrow, laced with poison.” And I fell for it like ...
Your love is like an arrow laced with poison
Here you are laughing now my heart is broken
You said you loved me then took it back
I want to go back to what we had
I thought my heart was safe with you
But you took that arrow and pushed it right through
My love for you will never change
I just wish you felt the same...
Your love is an arrow, laced with black
You positioned it on, pulled it back
Struck me right through the heart, not once but twice
My senses have deceived me, you’ve never been nice
Your eyes are rich blue, like the color of the sky
But they were truly deep pools, crawling with lies
You let me swim, then made me drown
You built my throne, then took my crown
Your lips are poison, an agonizing de...
Your love is like an arrow,
Laced with poison.
You act the part of boyfriend,
But with bad intentions.
I fall for this act,
Heads over heals.
I think everything’s my fault,
It just never hits me.
You are cruel and you’re mean,
You let me think I’m useless.
Our love was so real to me,
To you I was an object.
Leave me to my sorrows,
Drowning in heartbreak.
Look for your next target,
Maybe the...
It started small,
Two children messing around,
Now look at us!
I remember that first call,
You thought that I wasn’t just that nobody in the background,
And that time we were together on a bus.
You blinded me with love,
And I drank your potion,
I was under your spell.
And to think that I would think of you as a dove,
My heart had already been stolen,
After that, I crawled back into my shell.
