[veridian]

i saw you through a rose tinted lens. i thought you were the best thing that happened to me.
i was obedient. i really believed in your innocence. i loved you.

there are thorns upon my tongue. i used to think you were the best thing that happened to me.
the rose tinted petals are falling. did you mean what you said? i.. saw this.. coming but,
it is a bitter taste, freedom. i'm not blind. i can see you now, clearly, and the person you always turned out to be.
