Sweet, Sweet, Little Thing.

[TK]

These petals fall sweetly to the floor
So I can light them on fire just to smell the ash
But I need something more

This novacaine feeling is running dry
I'm just working so I can get another supply
This feels so wrong but I feel so right
Tomorrow I will be up all night
So please don't call
I won't hear it ring

Sweet, sweet, little thing
I swear these arms could hold you
But I can't...

Sweet, sweet, little thing
I swear you mean everything
Except to me...

This haunted mother's dream
Flows through the body's water so well
The only side effect is waking up to this hell
Because real world daydreams to fairytales don't end so well

So I strap myself farther into it
Because the deeper I get
The shorter there is
And I lose track of my mind
And begin to refine
But then comes another...

Sweet, sweet, little thing
You know I could never love her
But I couldn't love you either

Sweet, sweet, little thing
You know I could always trust you
But that's not your name...

I am lossed through all of her facades
Through scraps of dirt that go through my veins
of images of lust that have begun to rust

If only this heart could support so much
I'd let both be the end of me
Because I'm longing for their touch
But their the reason I drag on a crutch

Sweet, sweet, little thing
You know I'll always be there,
Just not for you

Sweet, sweet, little thing
You know I'll always care,
Just not about you...

Dear sweet, sweet, little thing
You mean a lot
But you just don't stop the sadness that you bring
Sweet, sweet, little thing

Powerful imagery in places here, I like it even if the subject matter is a little cliched for me. Keep it up!
