I can’t love you
This insanity is through.
These mind games
and heavenly lies
Are burning me up in hell-like flames.

You tore open my chest
made me obsessed.
The kisses you gave me
have melted into air
I am no longer your detainee.

So goodbye my love,
don’t try to talk me out of
this bout of clarity
in the cloud of
your insanity.
