you wear guilt like shakles on your feet, like a maiden in distres, like a halo in reverse

You left me breathless
The sparkle in your eyes
The warmth of your smile
Made me stumble
Into love
I can’t get out
Your too close
For me to break loose
Your arms around me
I can’t resist
Your soft lips
Keep me safe
It keeps beating to stay with you
I’m still alive
And I’m clinging on to you
This thing called love
Struck hard
It hurts to say goodbye
But its nice to know
That you’ll always come back
You left me breathless
I’m still alive
But I’m barely breathing
<3
