Crime of Love

Crime of Love

To open yourself up seems like something so scary now
To have feelings for someone and to hope that they do too
That bond formed between two people somehow makes it better
On the outside, you hope for the best but deep down you fear the worst

To give your heart to someone and wonder what they will do with it
Is this time going to be any different to the past and what if it is?
Is there something akin to victory in finding that true joy
Those thoughts of bliss that guide you into sleep and awaken you to the new day

But time and time again, no matter what you do, this is a fleeting dream
Everything slips away and the dream turns into a nightmare you cannot escape
Letting go and not knowing until it is too late that you have transgressed
The crime of love coming back to serve you the sentence you deserve
