Perfection Lost

 

Occupying my time, entangling my mind,

My sorrow is shown while I'm feeling alone,

A secret kept in, daren’t show shameful sin

And a cold fire burns in my heart

 

Invading me dreams, the tears endless stream

A secret was lost and dearly this cost

Embedded so deep, the hurt slyly creeps

It slithers inside while I’m losing my mind

 

Why did my heart break? Forever it aches

Lost in reflection, image of perfection

Was stolen away on that pitiful day

The despair that I feel and the memories so real

 

The torture is all the comfort I have

The petals have died but the thorns stay alive

Piercing my skin, they kill what’s within

This is what’s left of perfection.
