The night we fell in love

I walked across the street

Thinking I had struck gold

While the wind clenched its fist

with the ground at its mercy

I watched the sand sublime

in no time

As thoughts of you filled my mind

through the night

The night we fell in love

I had a dream that you came to my side

and ripped my clothes off me

Till you moved a knife down my spine

leaving my soul without fire

The night we fell in love

The petals refused to sprout

after weeks of sunshine

And months of waiting

The night we fell in love

I realised that love is a war

between rejection and acceptance.
