To love someone like you is— 

A treacherous, deadly, and intense path. 

Surviving this feels fantastic, 

but loving someone is a difficult—

But a worthwhile event in the life of someone who loves you so deeply.

 

Some fires flared towards the road, 

Reaching the door of your heart—

Which is guarded by towering walls, 

That no one can truly enter unless you lower them.

 

A creature that wants to change the way you play is knocking on your heart, 

Flipping every card, 

Stabbing the ace of hearts in your chest. 

 

She plays the game—

She doesn't know the genuine motive, 

She falls into his trap as she goes closer—

to falling into one of the characters in his game.
