Thorn

Miracle of Love Pt.2

You open your arms to let me go
But your vines constrict my soul
A nasty seed you planted in my soil
Has sprouted nothing but emotional turmoil
Even while you're not there
Your phantom grasp has me ensnared
I'm left to love another ghost I cannot escape

Get out of my face
Get away from my family
Get away from my friends
Get out of my life

I'm nailed to the memories
Branded on the inside of my skull
By the words "forever and always"
And crushed by the rubble 
Of every moment that was once a monument
Just eternal reminders
That petals don't last as long as thorns

Even if your neck was made of blades
I would squeeze it until I strangle back my stolen sanity
I'm left with vitriolic senses
That burn the world and poison my thoughts
And my eyes still see your diaphanous flesh
That turns my blood to acid
The catalyst to my misanthropic misery

If I knew how this would end
I would not have tried so hard
But I should have known
Living an insomniac's dream
Would only lead to a rude awakening
The fact that I believed so hard
The full effort of mind, heart, and soul
Only to be dropped into a depraved void
Lays in defilement to The Miracle of Love
