In loving me, you gave me the power of being worshiped, by the touch of your lips I obligated my heart to you but you owed me nothing Yet you made me stand out as figure to be revered, an idol to be awed of I gave my life for you but you gave me nothing I reject the tales my new followers tell of me I cannot take False Praise Love is a way of life, not a religion, yet you never adored me I cannot fake real grace In hating me you gave me the shortcut to cutting my life short Even though in your eyes I was immortal I was cut down to size and hoped it all went into your history report That even a god could be so caring and so gentle I accept the truth my new haters spread about me I can take malice Yet I will never forget the woman who lived without me A woman that only a human could cherish...  

Was it something I never said, or was it everything that I had said so much? Wasn't last weekend the best time we ever had, or was it just bad luck? You waited for those Three Words, I love you I thought that actions spoke louder than words, yet I'll confess that, I love you...

Yes, I'm a Hopeless Romantic As I'm hopelessly in love with you I'm a love addict I only get high when I'm with you When we touched there was a static I noticed my heartbeats reacted to yours In this world, we're only one as a pair Everything on this planet is ours Yes, I'm a Hopeless Romantic There's no shame in that And while I'm at it Would you stop being so sad?

Like the devour of chocolate Melt in my mouth Like ice cream too frosty to the touch Melt in my mouth Leave an aftertaste The same as the perfume you were wearing When you left our nightly abode in haste Going out in the chilly weather, ever wandering Let the words you had last spoken Melt in my brain Let the vow you had last broken Melt in my heart Do not get lost in the snow And then like the constellation of the stars, become a crowd of flakes Do not let me go For your heart might not even yearn, but mine in each winter, breaks...

How many angles does the phrase cold cover? It could be a cold night or even the Cold War A conflict not only fought between two countries  But between the lower and the upper class In winter we feel hungrier day by day The penniless wish for a Merry Christmas But to no dismay And their hopes never do last Watch the one percent Gift their children bountiful presents But our destitute souls only wish for something, be it not even heaven-sent Just like the winter, hearts of the rich, are frozen and always resent the underprivileged I wish on this next December 25th When I pray to God He would send Santa Claus To make the poor feel lesser at odds...

I noticed the frost melting In the Dead of Night Nocturnally, I felt a fright that left me feeling tormented In the Dead of Night I do not fear death It's cold I have heard Yet haven't experienced it, though it's similar to those fingertips That sent a shiver through my spine and a spear through my heart Now I realize that winter, like her love, has finally come to an end And out goes the snow in drips, drips, drips...
