It's late and I'm tired,
but my mind keeps
flickering images
of you and I wonder
if my eyes will ever
close.
I want you to
love how I smell,
I want you to love
how I have to watch
television before I go
to bed.
I want you to
fall in love with the
cracks beneath my
surface. I want to
I love you
I miss you
I wish I could
kiss you
but I won't
admit
to it
because I
know you don't
feel the same
oh wow
emotions are
lame.
I'm really sad
because I love you,
and not just you,
but the way you smile,
and the way your
eyes crinkle
when you laugh.
Or maybe
how you give
hugs or maybe
or it's the way nobody
asks your opinion
but they don't
need to, because
you have a
mind nobody can
We are
We are both broken souls
Ashes scattered across the desert
Being vehemently swayed by the raging wind
We are both broken souls
More shattered than the clay pot at my feet
More damaged than the rock,
endlessly being beaten by the waves
We are both broken souls
But i guess that's why we are perfect for each other
Scattered ashes in the wind,
settling down to form a pile
Broken clay pot pieces at my feet,
becoming one from whence they came
Yes, i know that's why we are perfect for each other
I have never been afraid of dying,
But ever since you came into my life,
I am more careful with life.
You make me feel alive,
You give me that rush,
That I was looking for.
Is this what real love is?
It's sometimes hard
to put feelings into explanation
when I look at you
I feel an odd sensation
My heart beats faster
stupid words slip
tickling arms
my stomach makes a flip
Is this real or fake
I want to be with you
but this feels like
it's too good to be true
I get nervous
when I hear your name
I want to watch a movie with you
with thunderstorms and rain
I studied your face
Fell in love
With your perfections
That you call flaws
Your perfectly lined jawbone
Your captivating blue eyes
I remember that day
Because that's when I realized
I'd rather be here
For the rest of my life
And nowhere else
I remember
All those faded freckles over your nose
The slight green and silver in your eyes
Your chocolate brown hair
I remember it all
I try to tell you
That i'm dying
But you don't seem to care
That my soul is flying
You don't look suprised
You just sit there and laugh
As if you're smiling at me
On the Devil's behalf
I wish you'd stop for a moment
And see what's going on
Because I love you with all my heart
But I can't for long
Well congratulations!
I yelled to myself in the mirror
I got promoted from side-chick to rebound
all he can think about is her
But what did I expect?
that he'd be happy with just me?
because he's worth not only the fight but the war
happy is all I want him to be
But how am I not enough?
I know it's difficult as hell
thought that I was unwanted
but then I fell
I tripped and saw him
I fell really hard
so what do I do now?
his heart is now scarred
Love.
Fight.
Assumed different always
They are the same
I am both, I do both.
My love is only paralleled by my battle for those in my life
You could have them both
I would love you if only you would ask
But you don't ask, you won't ask
In these the darkest of my nights you are the moon, and I the wolf
I call to you plead for your light to remain in my sight
But you don't hear, you won't hear
I fight these dark battles alone, but not truly
You fight them with me
But you don't know, you won't know
I would run to you if ever you'd cry
A man who tells early is insane.
A man who tells late is a fool.
A man who tells at the right time is gifted the most precious gift that a man can hope to gain:
A heart in a cage.
But in this gift a curse his most precious possession he must give:
A heart in a cage.
A man open is vulnerable, but free from the weight of armor.
A man closed is impenetrable, but burdened by the shell he carries.
A man careful is safe, but is able to experience the pains that he will:
A heart in a cage.
But in this balance a place for a companion:
A heart in a cage.
A man who is brave is a lover.
A man who is safe is a guardian.
A man who is pained is a companion more than any other:
A heart in a cage.
It doesn't have to be her
But it is.
I didn't have to learn her
But I did.
I didn't have to meet her
But I did.
I didn't have to see her
But I did.
I don't have to love her
But I do.
