This Valentine's Day, The spot on your hip belongs to her. The feel of your hand belongs to her. The safety of your arms wraps around her. The warmth of your body melts her heart. The taste of your lips covers hers.

Mine, No More
When your heart strings have been torn once again, Even though you thought you'd found the one to protect them. When the ache in your chest thuds louder and faster, Each pound a reminder of what you've lost When your very world seems to collapse within itself, But you no longer have the strength to pick up the pieces again. Yeah, that feeling.

That Feeling
" I love your positive outlook on life. It's like you're never depressed. Or at least I wouldn't think so," you tell me. Maybe that's why DeCaprio never won his Oscar; they're  savin' 'em all for me.

Sorry Leo
Stopping placing me on this pedestal Of your high expectations. This pedestal of your high demands And harsh words in quotations. Building faster than I can find My balance on my feet, Gripping and grasping on to the edge Not exactly an acrobatic feat. You construct this column so high As I struggle to keep up. So high up here all alone, And all I want to do is backup. Please, I'm begging on my knees, Up here all alone and I feel a lone breeze. Only the sky up here on this solitary pedestal so tall, And the higher you place me, the harder I'll fall...

This Pedestal
He finds happiness and comfort in me, While I'm looking for solace, where could it be? He sees a glow in my eyes, Lit by an artificial happiness. It's my fault, not yours, That I'm drowning in my sadness.

My Fault, Not Yours
Drawing an intricate design of emotion on my skin was always a catastrophic mess... But I needed a coping mechanism.

Coping
Experience isn't seen as a single solid object so much as the stories on our skin. Experience is etched into the wrinkles ripples across your face, each line a tale of growth and maturity and wisdom. Experience is found within your laugh lines, recalling times of great laughter and great woe. It flaunts across your skin in freckles and beauty marks, lines of hereditary history stretched against you. It demands attention in ink portraits, colors against a canvas of pigmentation. Embrace every scar, and bruise, and imperfection for they tell your story beyond words. They are the measure of experience.
