Dark Nights, Warm Hearts

Folder: 
Love

ive got a million things running through my head,

so why is it so hard to think?

my eyes are heavy, my body is wasted,

so why is it so hard to sleep?

so many nights spent here

toes frozen from the cold

(the warmth always leaves with you.)

the light from this candle flickers and threatens to destroy these words.

black as the sky, a crystal tear rolls slowly down my face

as i try to comprehend what you mean to me

mind racing heart pacing

ill wear my fingers to the bone

just to find the right words to say to you.

and i feel; i feel so many things

but the feeling right now is empty, alone.

even though you're on my mind

(as if a second passes when you're not)

but these nights are so cold and lonely.

i dream of sleeping next to you, waking up to you every morning for the rest of my life.

but i dont want to scare you with my hopes of a love that lasts, so i smile quietly to myself and breathe with ease.

my mouth stretches into another yawn, and it tears at my throat like a needle on a record.

requests to end this misery flicker through my mind, but never stay.

my love, my lifeline....

sleep would suffice tonight.

no knives or bullets needed here.

every time i close these tired eyes, another nightmare comes undone.

i could handle the monsters lurking in my closet.

or evil bunnies under my bed.

but to watch myself die, to feel the warmth of the blood, the coldness of the blade slicing through my snow white skin......and to suffocate beneath this fire, well it all becomes too much.

shattered reflections bring tragedy.

my body moves in another world, and in this one i am stone.

eyes glued to myself, broken and bruised.

i watch it break, i watch me die.

rip me from this before i become a part of it, please, please wake me, im so scared to sleep....

please wake me and hold me tighter.....i need you i need you i need you here with me.

a word of advice, hold fast to who you are.

its hard to find your soul when its lost and the world forgot.

i lost my soul.

then went my heart.

the pieces of a broken heart never quite fit, but you made it work.

and every once in a while this heart beats again.

just enough to keep me going.

and its only for you.

you breathed life into me, i am forever in debt to you.

yesterday i saw something so familar in your eyes....

it filled me up and burned right through me.

tell me its snowing, on this sticky august night, and i would question you not once.

that stare, it pierces and fufills, relays trust makes me believe in you and me.

we'll make it through.

feel the heat from my face when your eyes catch mine.

watch me search your soul and find the answers to all i was looking for.

i want to stay right there with you forever, for it is there i remembered how to smile.

is that alright? i hope its alright.

i just want to be with you.

you showed me the joy of laughter and the power of tears.

do you remember darling? when you took me in? dont let me go now, ill fade away.

come inside with me, leave this place, ill give you my everything.

just give me your forever.
