I woke today thinking of you
I marveled at how wonderful you are
And I realized even my brain is lovestruck
Wishing for you on every star

My love for you knows no limits
Has no beginning or end
It is perfectly infinite
Your heart it will defend

I would walk a million messy miles
I would swim a million scary seas
I would climb a million mean mountains
To be with you, your pain I will ease

Hearing "I love you" from your lips
Is all I have been dying for
Only you can say this careless phrase
And give the word "love" meaning once more.
Love has a different definition to everyone
I have wasted an eternity
Figuring a way to change my heart
Now I see that all I needed
Was you to keep me from ripping apart

If I counted the healing ways
You hold me together better than glue
I think you would be surprised to find
It is a lot more than just a few

Day after day you patch the holes
Sew the tears in my heart and my mind
With your love I stay alive and well
You are just the healthy choice I've been hoping to find
This is one from 2012, i added the third stanza today though, it just didnt seem like a good spot to end it.

My arm's covered in scars
Well kinda just a few
But its not exactly what you think
I've got a good explanation for this

I'm not suicidal
Just stupid


That is my line now
I have to repeat it each day
Because people now think i hurt myself
And they don't quite know what to say

I was baking cookies in class
And I accidentally turned the tray
So the hot metal burnt my arm
I swear that I'm okay

Four scars now line my arm
But I'm not at all phased
I decorate and fill it with colour
And all my friends tend to praise

I'm glad I have people concerned for me
I'm glad I have people who care
But even if I am secretly hurt
I won't allow my issues to air

I'm not suicidal
Just Stupid

I am the deafening
In the calming
Of their careless whispering
Echoing from the safe places
Of parallel universities

Mine are more
Than mere protagonist words
More than words that have less meaning
Than the eggshells
Walked upon
These are my words
  Right or wrong
And still going strong!

And I will love you all to death
You victims
You snowflakes
Young hearts of unrest
Say what you will
Let it all out
Take a big chance
Stand in your safe place and shout!

Then you will know
What free speech
Is really about!!
