why are you so afraid of love?
love has tried to kill my mother too many times.
why are you so afraid of love?
i wasn't even safe in my father's arms.
why are you so afraid of love?
i was born from their aching but i don't like to be touched.
do you think love is afraid of you?
do you think a vulture would fear a carcass?
