Words of Wisdom

By Blood Saga




Give me
a dandelion's wing
and I'll find a more perfect
. . .paradise
than the one you've built
for me.


It can take from you
until you can't breathe anymore.
You can't cry,
you can't scream
with pleasure

[you've never felt more like living]

when It rips you to pieces. . .
bite your tongue.


      L

              O

                     V

                            E


is not a matter
of the heart
alone. . .

Look within yourself
and decide how you would rather
be

Broken.


Because soon
you're drowning in it.
-swim-
No time now. . .

[you've never felt more at peace]



-deep breath-

                   . ... . .


At very least
admit you're still sinking.

. . .Or open your eyes
and take a good look.


Because you can't spell

                                        L

                               O

                      V

             E

without. . .

             C

                     L

                           I

                               C

                                     H

                                          E


                   
                    And. . .


   . ... . .


[you've never felt more like dying]
