Susceptible

The way I perceive,

Love will be my undoing.
I fall too easily,
I love too deeply.

I glare at the stars and marvel,
Forgetting that the sun will shine and I won’t see them again.

Despite how broken I’m left each time I’ve been in love,
It’s the only thing that I crave again to have.

I’ve lost my way and stepped on thorns barefoot once,
Yet each time I’ve dared again the melancholy of love,

I’ve dived deeply and nearly drowned,
Bit I’ve swam my way again into love.

Love has been this sweet misery,
One that am well aware will be the death of me.

Love has been this sweet misery,
One that I’ve also learnt to endure,
It’s a tragedy that I always come out of it unscathed and with demure.
