The Reverie of Love is Pain


truthfully, vulnerability is like an open flame
but you take the leap
like an astronaut

so you steal her the moon
and gather the stars
and give her the world
so she'll never know loneliness
and so you can experience love

but she feasts on the air you breathe,
releases it in to her atmosphere
and completes her universe

her planets in orbit
the stars alined

but when she will rise as the sun
you'll now know loneliness
so a song she'll sing
a reverie
of all the pain you'll feel
when she finally takes your heart away
