take my heart, take my soul, but don't let it go
did you really think that our flame would burn bright?
perhaps you were mistaken, little did you know
the heaven of your love was brief, and so was my light

.

smile like a thousand suns

eyes like the sapphire sea

you captured my vacant heart

before I could say that

it belonged to me

.

stolen kisses, burn my soul

sultry stares, shiver down my spine

you claim that I am yours

but darling, will you

ever be mine?

.

pretty woman, dance with me

little angel, be my beauty

I saw beautiful things

blissful moments – I always knew

they weren't meant to be

.

clever girl, pretty boy

poor woman, rich guy

it was almost impossible

thrilling, vibrant, forbidden love

but why does it feel like I'm about to die?

.

foolish, foolish love

broken, broken lives

the stars seem to be duller

how will we ever

manage to survive?

.

you seem to disappear, like a flickering sun
was I never good enough, just a foolish girl, just a little fun?
I was naïve, but I was brave
I risked my heart, and you put it to the grave

.

tratie angst. i've written a precious few works for this couple before, so... how was it?
