Heaven and Hell

Tonight with you was heaven and hell.
The later it got the darker it became.

Heaven Is what it felt like with you in your car.
Driving the back roads to the beat of your music.
You stopped by a field and tilted our seats back.
I fell in love to the city of stars though the sunroof.

Heaven is what it felt like to see your heart.
Talking of god, and the 7 billion people here.
talking about how you don't see the world as being small.
I just keep wondering about a world with us together.

Heaven is what I felt when you smiled at me.
Teasing me as you jerked the car to scare me.
I laughed and grabbed your hat to cover my eyes.
There was no need to scare me to get my heart racing.

Heaven is what I felt looking at your lips
I'd known them for 11 years through words
But now I wanted to know them from rhythm
wondering if they tasted like the strawberry shake we shared.

Heaven is what I felt with the words "I love you."
You said them though a laugh as I rapped for you.
You said them like you had known me forever.
I pictured what it'd be like to hear those words forever.

everyone knows Heaven has a curfew,
never knowing how long it's allowed to stay.
It always leaves too soon, we begged for it to stay.
It looked at us with sad eyes, and Hell pushed it away.

Hell is what I felt when we sat on separate couches.
after our moments of heaven had lit up my heart.
The room was lighter than the back roads with stars
but the conversation was Satan's best friend.

Hell is what I felt from one word that came from your lips
regarding those summer night cuddles between us.
                      "REGRET"
I'd rather had sticks and stones than those 6 letters.


Hell is what I felt when you told me I could do better.
That If I truly new you I wouldn't want to love you.
You told me of your past, and I listened quietly.
too bad my heart wasn't in the mood for revision.

Hell is what I felt after I realized the truth of us.
In a moment I truly felt wanted by someone,
that someone, didn't really want me back.
tonight "want" pathetically changed to need.

Hell is what I felt when you showed me her name
stitched into your arm written in fancy letters
Your eyes looked at me sending me the sign
her name was permanent in your heart. 

Heaven and Hell shared our night
Fighting for us, then against us.
Hell won the battle of love tonight.
but heaven sure as hell put up a good fight.
