my heart is ice cold and for once it's melting when i look into the soul of another rather than cracking from all of the pressure.
i look into her eyes and i see infinity.
i see her devotion.
i see- well i see as much as she allows.
and that's quite alright.
for i am only here for as long as she allows it.
and i used to write of love not knowing what i was talking about, and now i wrote of love still not knowing what i'm talking about but i'm a little lighter in my loafers.
and she makes me happy.
i thought my heart was shattered into oblivion but now it's got a bandaid on it...
with the letters: H. E. R. S.

You stand by me,
On my darkest days,
Even when I'm trapped,
In a blue haze,
So I want to show you,
What you mean to me,
Open up your eyes,
and make you see,
That I want you closer,
More and more each day,
And I know it seems,
Like I'm pushing you away,
How can I make you see,
When I can't even meet your gaze,
I always lose myself,
Suffocating in the blue haze.

He comprehends her importance to his life.
Very aware without her in it, he wouldn't know where he be?
To him, she has been that fresh breeze of responsibility.

He told her all the love he feels for her.
While at the same time so very impressed to be loved by her.
This, he told her.

No written notes.
No gifts spelling it out.
He told her.
Just how much that he loves her.

An ember revives itself with a gust of wind
As does a man who revives himself with her soft touch
The liqueur on his floor is no longer there
Along with the cigarette tray on the maple mantle

The sea now clashes gently with a soothing crash
Instead of tossing the man from his railing
The rats have turn to mice, chattering beneath the floorboards
Now the house creaks in harmony to the dancing in the den

He could've been the once at the bottom of the sea
but the rocks from the cliffs did it for him
The knives in the kitchen could be inside his skin but yet they sit, untouched.
While her lips move softly, he's not listening but waiting.
As if the world would grant him powers to give her everything.

Like the house on the cliff,
Never dying until they did.
