"Thorns"

Can you ease my pain?

Can you hold my heart?

Is there a way to be restored and find a new start?

 

Eternity. It’s far too long for a grudge.

My empathy was not enough,

The twist of the knife only caused

More bad blood.

 

Uncertainty. It’s far too short for love to bloom.

My heart was not there,

The twist of the knife only caused

More distrust.

 

The vines grow and consume us both.

We’re all trying to find love.

All trying to embrace one another.

But we’re scared that if we try we’ll only end up with scars.

 

The thorns somehow bring us both together and yet apart.

A gapping whole of where the trust used to be,

Words unsaid because of the fear that if they’re

Said, could lead to another death of passion.

 

How can we so smitten

After remaining so cold and bitter?

Used to pretend that I was a hero

But now I’ve got blood on my hands through murder.

 

Used to wanna fight but now I’m tired.

How could things have come to this?

Unhealthy romance, a desire for unreasonable revenge.

We’re wrapped together in the thorns, closer than ever and yet for some reason we dunno if we wanna be far apart.

 

The thorns hurt and we can’t stop pretending that they don’t anymore.

 

Opened my heart to you only to get slashed apart.

Hoped that there’d be something more than the pain that remained.

Thought that you were beautiful so I tried rescuing you only to get stabbed in the back.

The blade was given to you after all.

 

Eternity, it calls our names.

The pain remains even though until death we part.

Can’t help but feel isolated and confused.

Even if you’re talking to me in the same room.

 

Immortality, it fuels the pain.

Resurrecting only to come back to the reality that things are not the same.

In cold blood we fought each other.

The passion should be there but we’re far too gone.

 

The thorns bind us together, but why are we so apart?

 

Why are we still so apart?

 

You said for eternity you’d love me.

 

The vines scrape us and scar us both…

 

Why did we hurt each other?

I wish I could turn back time but

I’m so lost in the bloodstream.

 

The vines scrape me down,

Scars that’ll take a lifetime to heal.

You and I are alike but we’re not the same.

It’s like a beast and hunter mentality.

 

Eternity, it calls both of our names.

Anything to give love a grave.

The passion remains all the same.

All of this misery comes from love.

 

We’re both the same.

Living our lives in thorns.

Can’t complain when it’s also my fault.

A sin that shouldn’t have been committed.

 

Immortality. A curse because we’re still together without reconciliation.

We’ve always been difficult that way.

Can’t complain when we’re both broken and abused.

A sin that we both committed.

 

Uncertainty, it clouds both of our hearts.

We fear each other too much to even

Wanna restart.

 

It’s always been the same.

We’re both losing ourselves in the scars, the blood, and the pain.

The rage never ceases to stop all the rage.

 

The thorns bind us together. But honestly, we’re both broken without each other.

At least for right now hold me tight as we try to figure this out.

Anything to make this right, let’s put that dreaded past behind.

Eternity. It’s a long time for you and me.
