Our eyes collide
And ignite with a flash
You lick your lips
I sip from my glass
I bat my lashes and twirl my hair
Never abandoning our lustful stare
I imagine the strength of your embrace
My face starts to flush and my heart starts to race
You crave the sweetness of my skin and my ripen lips
But most of all you can't forget the contour of my hips

I will overcome you
What I fear I have already done
I will hold my head high
I will love every aspect of myself
I will no longer run
I won't let your looks bring me down
I have been minimized by you long enough
I have broken out of your cage
And flown and explored beyond its bounds
You are nothing but my past
I will stop dwelling on you
I will stop letting you appear in my mind
For you have no hold over me
I am stronger than you

The moment that you spoke
There was a shock-wave of pain
Something inside me broke
My heart you have slain
I try to stand tall
But the force of your blow sends me to my knees
I attempt to express my pain
But all the breath I require to speak has been stolen by the breeze

What did I do to turn you so cold?
Your heart is now covered with a hateful mold
I search your eyes
My once comforting place
But I see no sight of you in them
Not a trace.

I've recovered my breath
But I don't speak by choice
Too proud to let you hear
The break in my voice
Our once strong love
Has been crushed by its own weight
How has our once blazing flame
Ignited so much hate?

Your breath freshens my air
Your image is perfect, if I may declare
How I love your sweet embrace
And to trace the curves around your face
You make my heart flutter like the wings of a humming bird
Your voice is the sweetest thing I've ever heard
Please don't leave or shy away
In this romance we must stay
In unison we fly through endless skies
No worries or cares
Just joyous sighs
A string tugs on my heart and leads to yours
I could gaze in your eyes for hours
You make me happy my sweet perfect love
Truly, you must be from the heavens above

Oh heart, your imagination is vast
Maybe someday love will come at last
Still lonely you stay
A caged bird yearning to get away
To escape the bars of the present
And travel to a future more pleasant
Where love is eternal and true
Where I won't have to watch love from a distant view.

The moonlight on your face
Your sweet aroma in the air
The dirt finally settles
You dust off my hair
Our hearts are pounding
Our bodies covered with sweat
The way you felt inside me
Is something I'll never forget

I hear a drum in the distance
Someone is calling my name
The voice is so familiar
And I can hear hints of pain

I journey a little closer
Wondering who I'd find
I arrive at a stone of mirrors
And I realize the voice is mine

Inside the stone is my past
Trapped in the reflection of the mirrors
The younger me is crying
For the decisions that she's made
Are the reasons that I'm dying

Still the drum beats on
The noise from a long hidden place
I realize that it's the beating of my heart
That I've long ago trapped in a steel safe

I hid the safe in the depths of my soul
A place I never thought it would survive
But as I look in the eyes of my past self
I realize this is also why she cries

She had so many dreams
A paradise she had planned
But she got clumsy
And it slipped out of her hands

I must free her
Or her burdens I will bare
I unlock the safe
And I shatter stone's mirrors

A black cloud emerges from the shattered glass
And I felt a weight lift from my soul
She is free a last
I can start to mend the empty holes

My heart is now weightless
It's beat peaceful as the stars
For the choice to be free
Has always been ours

You looked in my eyes
And I showed you my soul
Someone to confide in
Befriending you was my goal

I poured out my heart
Watched as the steaming liquid turned to ash
You had made it vanish
My burdens lifted at last

But you gathered the ashes
When my back was turned
You threw them in the blaze of the public
And I felt my shame start to burn

You ****** the venom out of me
And then bit me right back
I can't believe you betrayed me
Now my dignity I lack

Don't worry I've learned my lesson
And I will let this go
But I assure you
I'll never let you know
