Bartering Hearts

13 5 3
                                    

The eyes of a teller

The whispers of a kiss

Arrows and facades

To satisfy our lips


Kingdoms have fallen

To have you inside

Caressing my shoulders

When tasting your mind


I've made a mess within

Fighting my demons in bed

Help me forget

Please stop asking how I've been


I can't carry this weight anymore

My reflection is no longer there

I'm another flower waiting to bloom

Sleeping in the dark, expecting dreams

I sold my soul for an empty shell


I'm suffocating

In barters and lies

Pour a glass of champagne

Until you're satisfied


Rules have been broken

With the thrust of my hips

My chest grows colder

And still, you insist


I am a mess, I am

Drowning demons with bare hands

I can never forget

When I still see where you stand


Why do you persist on pursuing me, when you really don't know me?


You never thought of having to see because you simply did not wish to see


Hearts beating faster

Like the flames of disaster


Thoughts feeling tighter

Like drinks held much higher


I don't know how much longer I can take this

I don't know how much time I can hold this

To point an arrow at a knotted heart

Is to kill a kingdom without a witness


I can't carry this weight anymore

My reflection is no longer there

I'm a flower waiting to bloom

Sleeping in the dark, expecting dreams

I sold my soul for an empty shell





















If all of this was for you, does that mean you'll consider me too, my queen?
