Desires & Sinners


Shhh… we must whisper when we say this.

This is for you my regrettable desire

This is for the Love I thought we could’ve had

And the love we never will have 

This is to the forgotten kisses 

The ones stolen between breaths

This is for the dancing starlight 

hidden in your galaxy filled eyes

This is for the future that I saw blooming 

Like a fresh morning rose petal 

 

This is for you my regrettable desire 

My passion burned a steady and ruthless fire 

While yours’ slowly dwindled and died

This is for the ashes been blown into the wind 

That are filled to the brim 

With broken whimsical sins 

 

I would’ve given you my heart 

My regrettable desire 

But you would’ve never accepted me as your friend
