Lost in his Lust

Story

He always brings me a bouquet when my room runs out of roses

Won’t be able to move once he falls onto his knee and proposes

Loved me when all I could do was hate my destiny and life

Kept me from drowning and loved my soul when it was barely alive

Grabbed my hand when I was lost in the darkest of all nights

I knew it once I didn’t look up to the sky to see all the lights

Every night we took a walk he talked about cosmology

Pinky promised to love me without getting all of me

Yet what he promised that night was overwhelmed by his lust

I gave him every inch of my soul and heart and of my dying trust

He loves danger, he doesn’t realize he’s walking on a breakable threat

I was fully committed to the darkness luring inside his head

I am still a child, and I am still young and naive

But in my darkest moments I still find the strength to believe

Please apologize, please hold me close and say sorry

Please never let me go and take care of all that I might worry

Let me forgive myself and don’t cut off my wings

Help me not forget all the beautiful and lovely little things

Please never do it again, please never pinky promise again

Please take away my regrets, I can no longer live with them

No matter what happens I will always carry him home

No matter what happens I don’t ever want him to cry alone
