Satisfaction always evaded my grasp as I ran through winds
That blew back the very knives that had decorated my body with scars
As I tried futilely to keep the one I loved in my arms as I dreamed she would be, my sin
The love that I, Miss Independent, so horribly wished would wipe away the tears that stained my heart.
A fire simmers in the back of my overly weary mind
That reminds me of the time when she loved me
And how my future laid in front of me as I relished every night
As she told me the stars in the sky would be all the days she'd care, how she'd never leave
How she caught all the sadness and tainted trust that fell in each tear
And told them she loved them, that she'd send them to the moon
How she couldn't see herself the way I saw her
How she couldn't see herself beside me, but she'd follow suit...
I remember how she was, is, so beautifully dangerous...
Promises broken the moment they were said all those nights
As she was never truly mine to make a future with
Kisses still lingering on my lips, her fingers intertwined with mine
Just like any other day; shadows of her love lurking overhead
To poison new dreams, wishes, leading me down our road...
Cracked and dark it looms stretched before my tired eyes
A nightmare come alive as I see glances at what could have been
Our home, our family, dancing just out of my reach under fading skies.
My sanity walks a very fine line
One strewn with flowers and daggers,
Guns and time,
Sadness and smiles...
And just like the woman I loved so dearly,
It is one so beautifully dangerous.
