Darkly Slanted

I wanted to live in your world
But the lighting was bad
I tried to drink in your aura
But it tasted too sad

And my heart has wrapped around you
In a most peculiar way
Cause I can see you’re darkly slanted
Still I wanna stay

I knocked at the door to your heart
But nobody was there
I asked for a cupful of kindness
But you had none to spare

And my soul’s been so disheveled
Since you gazed down on me like prey
Then because you’re darkly slanted
You just tossed my love away

And I don’t why but I’ll think of you
Until my dying day
So beautiful, but darkly slanted boy
Who looked my way…
