An internal monologue, on the uncertainties of discovering, and experimenting with love
Everything's inverted, everything's confused
I used to know my conscience, I'm afraid to leave him bruised
Regret and guilt burn brightly as I realize my mistake
A beating heart I asked for, unwisely did I take.
Passion and desire, burns with joy and pain
I found someone to want me, I fear I smile in vain
Although his lips are faithful, his thoughts and touch he shares
His friends mixed in with lovers, familiar he still cares.
I wanted a romance, wanted something more
A pair of arms to hold me, only me he would adore
Something from a storybook, but no fairytale for me
My prince is someplace else I fear, I don't know what to be.
I feel modern and vain, corrupted but still
A flame burns at his touch, but is it his that I feel?
A sweet lover I wanted, someone sweet gave me his hand
But as time goes on, I fear the fire drains like sand.
Do I need a story, a character's touch?
Is it him that I want, or another just as much?
No other has wanted me, when he asked my devotion
Was it him that I wanted, or merely the notion?
Wine he gives me freely, I'm too young to taste
Naive and inexperienced, have I taken love in haste?
