How can you shut up the heart
Like for an hour or two
Because every time I’m with you it starts Beating uncontrollably, making my mouth move

I tried shutting my mouth but to no avail, If I were to stay silent, I feel like I bore you But the more I talk, the more I feel the words I say becomes stale
Different topics spewed trying to push through

When the only thing I wanted to do was spend time with you
Treasure the moment of us two
With the little time we spend together
To know if I have a chance to go further

A foolish ploy I enact for escaping
Proclaimed that I have moved on
Knowing to myself that I’m in ruin
Crying over a couple of beers listening to sad songs

Showed everyone that I’m fine and sane
But to be honest, I’m enduring my bane
As the mouth can always deceive
The eyes can tell how a life is lived

There is no escaping from the truth
No matter how much I run and hide
Unconsciously, I go down the same route
Truth be told there’s no restraining these feelings inside

Often, I wish to climb
The wall that separates the two us
Is this our paradigm
Where any approach is considered a bust

Exert all the effort, sweat away
But at the end of the day I fall back down
There is no top or end, just dismay
A loop where in sorrow myself drown

But you love them dont you ?
But do they know you exist too ?
The presence of doubt makes it harder to climb
The weight in my heart, makes it easier to fall

As embers consume the land
The last branch unlatches from the oldest tree
Rivers all dried up and replaced with sand
Roaring flames, deafening the animals plea

Amidst the noise, you could hear singing
From a little songbird, embracing her unborn
Who stood her ground unwavering
From an unexpected event that made their life forlorn

Start anew little song bird build your nest in the forest above
Where the fires and destruction could no longer harm you
Where you and your fellow animals will be treated with love
Just let go and join everyone as they pass through
