When she said “I love you”
the sun no longer shone
It exploded into fragments
across the beautiful blue sky

I’m hopping along a road
that trips me over
I’m climbing up a tree
that pulls me down
I’m far across a field
that draws me closer
and still nearer
to not being found

If we were never
meant to be forever
why’s this pain
never leave me

I love paint on my fingers
the smell of oils on my skin
but you on my canvas
are my art
and everything

Before I hand you my heart to have
Have a heart and give me your hand

You can take
every part
of my heart
the truth
and the lies
every page
from the start
but please
give me
your eyes

You can steal
my will
every seal
of my soul
every piece
of the whole
take my breath
and my sighs
but please
give me
your eyes

You can take
every chapter
for free
every part
you can see
what lives
and what dies
but leave
me your eyes
please

take all
you can find
from the lines
of my mind
to every piece
you can break
leave nothing
behind
so may I
for my sake
make your eyes
mine
I need you to see
every part of me
you take

Nothing is as sweet as you
but you case the hardest pip
