built

By Exodus


You’re a special light

Made for deceiving


And we fall into your trap

Because you’re beautiful.


And in many ways

I am just like you


And were loved for the taking

Our hearts tied in knots like blasphemy and sky.


Piercing through me like the moon does a bleeding body.


I am flawless but I am weak..





Cant you see,





for one spilt second.

I thought you were real.
