Better or worse?

Better or Worse?



Are we better or are we worse?

Are we gifted or are we cursed?

Did we fail? can we work?

Watching you unhappy, yes it hurts

The devil lurks and plots to tear us apart

But my love for you won't stop, I dare depart

Because you have my heart, in this union I'm caught

We refuse to end it even though we've had a rocky start



In the beginning yes I know these should be the good times

Where we enjoy each other, bask in each others sunshine

Run, unwind in a field where troubles are so distant

Breath in nature's existence

But our Eden has a resistance

The apple is our own wills and the snake is our personalities

Pride wears the suit of a serpent

Waiting for our fatalities

I constantly battle you, you constantly battle me

I guess we need a little more dream and less actuality

I rather we be at those moments of those March nights

Where the furthest thing from our mind is starting a fight

Darkness is stalking our light, the moon wants the passage of the sun

Sometimes I look at us and wonder what we've become

Why do we have this tension, why this dissension?

I know our relationship needs serious attention

Maybe a reinvention?

Why do we clash? baby why do we clash?

Arguments come like lightning, they strike so fast

But don't last, but they really do wound

Bring us closer to doom

When were in that gloom it seems like where so consumed

When our passion is in bloom we're so consumed

I wish we can go back to the darkness of my bedroom

Where we kissed all night in the glow

Of my red room

You in your boy shorts and me playing with that wild hair

Innocence trapped in a bottle,our smiles were left there



Are we worse are we better?

Are we cursed or gifted together?

Will our house stand in this storm and weather?

Or will turmoil have us bound, will it have us tethered?



Well I don't know anymore and it's not meant for me to understand

It's too heavy for us too hold...

So I guess it's in his hands.
