Lullaby
You know, it's sad
You used to have
This glint in your eye

Specks of gold
Left untold
Charismatic, sublime
Enigmatic sometimes

But I didn't mind
I used to fall in love every time I looked in your eyes

As they got me high
Off you

All those quiet nights, veiled in the dim glow of the moonlight
Just you and me, as our minds ran free

You told me tales of the sea
As we waltzed to Tchaikovsky

Unraveling our secrets
Like your love for maple syrup

And I never minded
'Cause you were everything I ever dreamed of when I sleep at night
My heart was high
Off you

Am I deranged to miss you?
After the way you left my heart blue and bruised
Lingering scents of roses and smoke and love and hope
And two adventurous souls

You were a bottle of poison
I guzzled in the blink of an eye

And the most twisted part is I still wrote you a lullaby

As the sun crawls back and the darkness overtakes
I look at the moon, my mind a monsoon

Memories ruthlessly
Throwing darts at my heart
We were fine at the start

Gave you trust, but you were just
Another demon, an angelic drug

My happiness:
What a fun game it was
For you
Am I deranged to miss you?
After the way you left my heart blue and bruised
My clothes still smell like smoke and love and hope
And wafts of a love-drunk soul

You were a bottle of poison
I guzzled in the blink of an eye

And the most twisted part is I still wrote you a lullaby
