"Love"

You're the most beautiful nightmare
Trapped inside the cage of my mind;
The insecurities pepper you
With the bullet holes of my experience,
Dreaming of tearing you to pieces
Because pretty things don't belong in the dark.
You're my new happily ever after, staring down at my mistakes
All high and mighty
From the pedestal I built beneath you from the sky down,
Its roots in the Hell of my memories.
Take a good, long, hard look
At the graveyard below,
Littered with lost loves and past infatuations -
You'll be joining them soon enough.
