It All Burned Down

All of my life, I’ve been called naive.

I laughed it off, who’d have believed?

I never understood why anyone would lie,

But then I met you, and everything became twisted and tied.

Every sweet smile, had butterflies going wild,

Every innocent touch, had my cheeks naturally blushed.

Every little joke, had laughter bubbling up.


Until it all changed, until I looked into your eyes and saw my future go up in flames.

My innocence torn, now my barbed heart of thorns.


Butterflies were sidelined and moths took over

Sweet turned into evil making me want to grin for miles,

Innocent touches turned into touch of claims,

Little jokes from cruelty you spoke,

I was once naive, now I walk with vengeance in my eyes and venom coating my tongue .
