themes: connection, betrayal, destruction
two stars hold the sky upon your temple
shining together unless one burns the other
in faux sisterhood we are one and the same
a mirror and a window all but divide us
you cannot wish to break one apart
without also electing to hurt the other
instead the cosmic divine was shattered
two halves turning their backs on each other
one consuming the other into oblivion
your choice was thus made simpler
when you look at her do you see me instead
or am i merely a figment of a past life
a whisper of a memory in a sleepless dream
whose existence nobody has evidence of
when you kiss her do you feel my spark
the taste of rum plunging down your throat
perhaps this is all some trickery of the head
when your gut knew which elixir was right
choose the tantalizing colors of one
tell me when the poison hits your stomach
at the crossroads you make a simple decision
confidence fades into blackness at your words
the most predictable formula breaks to pieces
when i was deceived by the greatest plot of all
will you come running back in due time
maybe in another life where your heart was true
and your feet were planted here on earth
but your head is now clouded up with water
she'll be the one who accidentally drowns you
and you'll thank her as you breathe your last
we all make destructive choices sometimes
but yours broke apart wrathful twin flames
