Choke on Love

By darkdesires

They all want to hold the rose, smell its aroma and behold its beauty
None want to feel the sting of the thorns or see its whole face
Looking at the world through rose colored glasses
Loving nothing more than words
Words that mean nothing for they have no action
Their passion and luster masking their true intentions and meaning
Lies unfolded with ever dropped article of clothing
Living  in only naked flings and ignorant lusting
But the reality is suffocated and truth blinded
Choking on Love
Everyone is choking on Love
I choke on your love

Noone is safe from the cloud that encircles them
The gas entering their lungs and killing them
Hearts tormented with every glance, touch, and word
Each lie spoken adding another scar on its beating face
We are all causalities of love's war
Because we are all vulnerable
Dying inside while we deny the truth
The truth that can only do one thing
Choke on Love
Everyone is choking on Love
I choke on your love

    heh ya love is a bitch, but its more about how I'm kinda sick of just everyone spewing shit about love and they have no idea what its like to sacrafise and struggle for something even when you have no support. just blindinly talking about it with no meaning other than just fucking is getting sickening because thats all anyone can seem to do anymore.
