what insomnia does to you

Lie upon lie,
Tears are cried,
The truth to hide
So that mother won't chide.

Eventually she finds out,
And then takes us aside,
Warns us no man wants a bride,
Who to her mother has always lied.

That night in bed we cry,
And with a sigh,
Promise to say bye,
To ever saying a lie,
Till the day we die.

Perfect Sin

Perfect sin
By Esther

In the blowing wind
Your body in that uniform
Looked like perfect sin
And to this very day
In this relationship
I can't believe we're so far in

When you were around,
It was so hard to breathe,
So I looked away,
To keep my feet on solid ground,
But your presence in the place,
Was so hard not to heed.

I didn't want to love you,
But I did,
And those feelings I tried to keep hid.

Your face each night I'd try to forget,
Each moment from the time we met,
But with your charm
My appetite for you,you did whet
And in my heart your home,
You'd already permanently set.

I couldn't understand why,
Like other girls you didn't just pass me by
And instead you asked me to join you,
Up in the sky.

You were free and going easy,
I was awkward, naive and queasy,
And yet you looked at me,
And said with me, you forever wanted to be!
