The grove still orchestrates the weight
Serene and complex with love’s fragility
Trained for temptation, interpret this sullen kiss
Flushing on ego, the lost art of rhetoric
Please don’t forget me, whispered forever
Time slips away with all my insecurities and this pendulum of guilt, but still I carry on
Give me back my life
To live, to die. Decide.
Lost hope, separation
But can we trust in fate’s embrace?
Look to the stars
