• Feaux smiles and empty kisses, wrapped in gold paper with red ribbons
    That tie me up in knots in your arms and in the sheets on the bed where we lay
    In the meadow with sun in our hair and spring on our lips,
    And a secret in your heart that beats next to mine.
    I waited, and you promised that you woud always come back
    To break me apart and throw me on the floor
    With the ribbons and sheets and the glass that shattered in the night
    It seems love is not as strong as the duct tape that binds my bleeding heart
    Or the velvety midnight that envelops my tears
    If it was, then you'd still be here.
