Simple boy
Innocent love
Starry eyed
Full of hope
Full of wonder
Full of life

Wearing his heart on his sleeve
Maintaining his optimism
Be still my heart
Dreaming of where he is
Swimming in his eyes
Drowning in his love
Falling in his embrace

Color my world
With your fingertips
Paint the sky
Bring life to the canvas
Color my heart
With your love

A simple boy
I fell in love with
Showing how to paint the world
No longer black and white
Colored my soul
Simple boy
With his heart

Take me to a higher place now
Where the sense of freedom exists
No limitations
No restraints
No longer chained to walls

Enhancement no longer needed
Moving about on my own
Discovering destiny
Where I am in place
Mind and soul

A moving vessel
Crashed and ruined
Beyond human repair

Say it all
Words leave the tip of our tongues
Into a world of its own
And whispers start
Did they really say that?
Momentarily the world holds its breath
Watches as you speak
Words leaving your fingertips
And onto a screen, a paper
Your thoughts being read aloud
In the mind of another
Interpreted differently
Your words rearranged
Transformed into a different being
With less meaning to you.

Growing ever so fearful
Afraid of who lives next door
Why do they talk funny?
Do not associate with their kind
They are the spawn of evil
Away with our jobs we deem unfitting
Why are they here
This is our home
But did we not steal it from natives
Who are we to judge
Why do we judge
Why do we preserve our way
When there is nothing to preserve
Lies!
Filth and vermin you say
I call friends and family
Nothing more
Nothing less

Where are we now
At a red light
Time passing by
Slow motion now
Everything, a blur

Where should we go
Lost a sense of direction
No compass to guide
Just intuition
Just looking through a mirror

For you
For me
Let me sin
If only

Looking around
The darkness with unfamiliar sounds
A figure lingering in the distance
Unsure of where to go

Here I stand
Desperately seeking your love
Your approval
Of all that I do

Pursuing an impossible dream
Goals that shall never be fulfilled
A love that shall not know romance
A mere mutual agreement upon what is desired

Here is to you
And all of your success and failure
For me
It is the bittersweet victory enjoyed with an empty heart

Love
A meaningless word to you
Forbidden to utter
No sense of emotional attachment
No sentimental value

A cold shell
A lifeless form
Metallic armor
Where is your mace to fight me?
Your sword to pierce my bleeding heart?

Man and woman
Equal in love
Unrequited love
Hopeless romantic
Everything I know

Taboo
What is our love if there even is one?
What is it that makes us desire?
Dusting off every emotion
Everything is taboo afterwards
