never

we should have never

danced under the symphony of the sunrise

dipped our toes in the coolness of the mississippi delta

tried to hang on to shooting stars

we should have never

taken flight on a dandelion

nor ran with the wind

nor tried to sing with trees in a summer storm

we should have never

let go of reality

we should have never believed our dreams

nor painted smiles on our nightmares

only to convince ourselves that they were circus clowns

we should have never

ran with scissors 

by the edge of the pool

after the street lights came on

we should have never left home

never opened our heart up to heartbreak

we should have never believed in love

or fantasy

or fairy tale

snow white was a whore

cinderella had psychological issues

and even belle was a bitch

fuck this...

we should have never 

fallen in love

we should have never

fallen in love

we should have never

lived

we should have lied

and walked away

we should have kept our hearts in an old pair of pants 

at the bottom of the laundry

we should have painted with only black and white

no awkward shades of skylines and sunrises

no amazing conversation

not leading to quiet moments

not leading to amazing sex

not leading to my arm 

wrapped around your waist until you fall asleep

we should have never 

fallen asleep

we should have never dreamed

we should have never 

fallen in love
