Crazy in Love (Rewrite of Insanity Plea)

Folder: 
Love Blossoms

My heart is on my sleeve.



It is within your grasp

if you just reach for it.



It is yours;

take it but be careful

not to break it.



I have no control over it anymore,

not when my hands

are restrained

in strait-jacketed hopelessness.



You make me feel so helpless.



Only you can remove this lock

that keeps me confined

to thoughts of you.



You have the key,

the power to let me free

from the custody of your love.



But I never want to be

released from the captivity

of your kisses.



I want to be a hostage

to your embrace.



You can make any demands of me,

and I will do everything

within my power

to fulfill all of your requests.



I’d even sacrifice my life for you;

I care about you that much.  



No one understands

the way I feel about you.



They think I’ve lost my mind,

but the fact is

I am crazy in love with you.

Rewrite 2012

My heart is on my sleeve.

I have no control over it anymore,
not when my hands
are restrained
in strait-jacketed hopelessness.

Only you can remove this lock
that keeps me confined
to thoughts of you.

You have the key,
the power to set me free
from the custody of your love.

But I never want to be
released from the captivity
of your kisses.

I want to be a hostage
to your embrace;
I am committed
to the asylum of your arms.
