pain hides behind beauty
as she often does
behind a perfect summer
midnight Italian sky
a beach with stars up high
and homemade cherry wine
but soon reveals herself
with a blurred mind
and no which has already been said one too many times
with air which tastes of salt
and sand wet with tears
I told myself I did it for the memories
now they haunt me much like a bad dream
I kept going back
to try and make myself believe
that I'm not sorry
that I'm fine
but that night I found myself
looking for a place to hide
and thinking I had found it I was stabbed from the behind
