Analysis of 2020/08/24 ~ Love's Curse

Cheyenne Seaman 2003 (Philadelphia)



Red hair, dark green eyes;
She stole my heart like a vixen in the night.
Brown eyes, auburn hair,
That's the guy for whom she does care.

Close friends, forever,
That's the only way we'd ever be together.
Calm books, flowing streams,
Man, I know that's just what I need.

Five months, here I am
Washing away just like the sand.
Slim form, hourglass shape,
My heart was hers the picking to take.

Blonde hair, clay brown eyes,
I don't know if he told truths or lies.
Feathers, the softest touch,
Yea, I'll never get enough.

Sore heart, in the dark,
Love's bullet tore me apart.
Dark nights loaded with hurt,
I'm starting to think that love's a curse.
