I don't know
How to say this
So that you may possibly
Understand
But love is a road
So numbingly cold
That I choose to
Walk alone

Dragon scales-
And fairy tales-
Tap dance through my mind
Sugar plums
And sweet dreams
Help keep me alive

If the Kiss of Death
Is loneliness
I die everyday
Surrender to the little boy
Whose scars have yet to fade
