Forever your shadow dear to my heart
Your eyes glimmer like a story untold
Burnt love isn’t shared yet it won’t depart
My hands rest upon the soft feel of mold
Who doubts the decaying thoughts in their brain
And still hold a shimmer of light and hope
Who doubts the flirts and love that feels inane
And still raise their hand to kaleidoscope
This yearning desire hopes for closure
Bitter fulfillments tinker in your hand
I observe and learn only to do nothing but compare and obsess
But when I look in the mirror, I see your mind’s view
Without you, I’m less; the more I look the more it’s true
Bones crack as I draw lines around my waist
My skin dulls as I pray for it to be lighter
My hair dies as I change it all for you
The sense of myself borders on senseless
An identity I forged for your mind's view
Your eyes glimmer like a story untold
Burnt love isn’t shared yet it won’t depart
My hands rest upon the soft feel of mold
Who doubts the decaying thoughts in their brain
And still hold a shimmer of light and hope
Who doubts the flirts and love that feels inane
And still raise their hand to kaleidoscope
This yearning desire hopes for closure
Bitter fulfillments tinker in your hand
I observe and learn only to do nothing but compare and obsess
But when I look in the mirror, I see your mind’s view
Without you, I’m less; the more I look the more it’s true
Bones crack as I draw lines around my waist
My skin dulls as I pray for it to be lighter
My hair dies as I change it all for you
The sense of myself borders on senseless
An identity I forged for your mind's view
