Bliss

Sweet? No,

Bitter sweet, bliss

How could something like a kiss

Fulfill my every wish

How could something like a smile

Make everything all worthwhile

How could something like your laugh

Cut my sorrow right in half

How come when I look into your eyes

It’s like gazing at starry skies

How come every time you’re near

I lose every ounce of fear

How come when you go away

My heart will never stay

How come now I feel like this

Like I finally got my wish

Foolish and ignorant

Gone insane with bliss.
