Talons With a Tender Touch

I feel like with her I'm just an after thought but at first I didn't mind and that's why I feel like such a prick...
I kept my feelings separated for as long as I could 
She's not the first that I've wanted but she's gotten me hooked 
It's not like a curse she's a blessing in disguise not a lot of us learn she hides away in her bubble my curiosity burst and now I'm certain that I've got her immersed our minds hurt cos our hearts merged solid and firm and I still kept my feelings separated for as long as I could
Now lost for words got me working on what rock I should turn on my search to find out what our honesties worth 
Honestly at first I understood what corner I should've probably took 
I still probably should instead I'll probably spend a life time longing for her and her words burning in my head like bonfire logs in the woods why would I wanna look back on the worst time in the book I've worked hard to forget what it's like not to be heard...
I feel like with her I'm just an after thought but at first I didn't mind and that's why I feel like such a prick...
You've heard about the early bird getting the worm first well my worm has turned for worse and my love lifes switched reverse 
Hit the dirt looking like a write off that's crashed and burnt space cadette struggling to think now I'm back to earth still gravitating towards her taunted by the small hints of her fragrance and when I lick my lips I can taste hers 
I don't recognise myself and every face that I see is hers 
I'm a ghost in the mirror I need some drugs to be administered
Blood vessels burst in my brain when I think the worst skipped the last train back then on road had to hitch a hearse and missed the first turning  into home... Or is it hers?
I'm like a theif at the window between two worlds where my spirits cursed....
