Midnight Words

All I ever learned from Love

All I ever learned from love

is what pain is

All that life ever taught me

was how bad it can be 

I suffered in love

the cuts left scars on my heart

When all I ever did

was heal you.

Your love was as sharp as a knife

quick to cut

But I must have been a masochist

because I loved each second of it.

Your eyes were beautiful

and more brilliant than the sky

but they were broken

and the fragments cut all through you.

Myself so happy and bright

killed my own light

until nothing but

the glass was left

But it made me brighter

It made you stronger

It made us survivors 

It made me love you.

All that love gave me 

was pain

All that I ever gave you 

was joy

All that I gave you was love

All that you gave me was love

but that love gave pain

And I loved each second of it.
