You'll want someone who will guard you in battle or peace,
Exalt with you in feast or famine,
And cradle you through the nightmare until your dreams are born.

You may think you want to do everything yourself,
But nothing in life is more precious
Than a partner that is yours because they want to be.

It's simple for the devil to apologize for his wrongs

When he has no intention of making a home out of the arms that have enveloped him,

No plan to bed down in the memories he has created,

And no desire to keep warm the hearts he has collected all these years.

Writing well falls harshly upon me
As I have to rip down the walls that help me cope with myself.

Like spelunking in a cave filled with diamonds in the darkness,
I have to break things apart and hope the whole thing doesnt collapse.

Heavy sighing
Falls and rises around me

Yet amidst all that comfort
Darkness holds me tight to remind me I'm enough for only myself.

I wouldn't have the anxiety of talking too much about myself

If I could just let someone get close enough to figure me out on their own terms.

Is it really such a bad thing
To want to carry something good and youthful,
Nurture it to a mature and responsible success?
Maybe seeing potential
Isn't always a threat of failure.

I fear the depths of your eyes
Because it's been so easy to get lost.
I dont know what's the sky
Or where the road is unfolding before me.
Those big blue orbs,
Pools of curiosity that beckon me to the edge.
I've always been a risk taker
And I'm thinking about jumping in.
