Two states over your heart is beating
that fact alone hinders my breathing.
Sometimes I wish you didn't exist
so that my heart and my soul could be through with this.

His eyes don't effect me the way that yours do
though nothing was established between me and you.
He told me his heart while keeping his soul
and time keeps on passing, you've yet to be bold.

The hands of the clock are moving the time
and if you don't hurry I might change my mind.
Maybe my words are to convince my own head
maybe I've imagined all the things that you've said.

If you were only fiction
perhaps I could see his eyes.
The reality of you impairs my vision.
I feel like i'm bleeding, waiting for my own demise

Get in or get out, the boat is leaving the shore.
But it would leave and float nowhere, you are the oars.
Enough of your talk, I know now it's cheap
Just show me I am the person you'll keep.

Am i caught up on fiction?
Is this some type of disease?
Rid me of my ignorance,
I'm begging you. Please.
But if ignorance is bliss,
I'd be smart to stay shy.
Although if this is false hope,
I think I might die.

Tap tap tap tap
her fingers beat the wood.
The table did not deserve this
but her patience said she should.
Absence of a complex thing
is what drove her to the brink.
The brink or the door
whichever you prefer.
I am still waiting
writing to pass the time.
I realize now this is not my best rhyme.

You don't want to love me
I'm hung up on someone else
My heart is in his closet
Hanging on the shelf

I wanna love you back
But I can't without my heart
The closet door is locked
And i've turned pining into art

Your eyes are filled with hope
Your intentions don't seem bad
I want to know your soul
But I don't want to make you sad

So keep your laugh away
Because I love the way it sounds
And Keep your heart inside
Because my love won't come around

You don't want to love me
Because I want to love you back
But my mind's hung up on fiction
And my heart's under attack

I vow to Love you.
Not with a cheap kind of love
But a Love that is extravagant and priceless
A Love that was bought with a death
A Love that I know only from the pursuit of my savior
Now my Love will not be perfect
But by grace it will be a reflection of something that is
My Love will not be on the surface only
But deeply rooted in the center of my chest
Growing straight through both our ribs and connecting to your heart
Our Love will grow and flourish, getting stronger everyday
Blooming into a bond that cannot be broken
Though rain and wind may come
Our Love will keep on standing
No drought will be a threat when the Lord is on our side
We are not the creators of this Love that we will share
But we are blessed to eternally possess it
Although we have access to it, at times it may seem unreachable
This is no surprise because I am human and so are you
But I vow to see this through
I vow to Love you.

Jesus wept.
It wasn't a silent tear rolling down his cheek
She screamed at him through gritted teeth and He began to weep
He didn't cry because of death or the promise that He kept
But Jesus wept.
The tears flowed from His eyes for a people filled with lies
Like a father hurting for his sick child
Jesus cried for us all the while
The emotion that He felt was real
He cried for the pain that she had to feel
He knew in a moment her pain would be gone
But he felt her pain because of their bond
I can't help but wonder if it's a present tense verb
That wept is still weeping, we just haven't heard.

The number of faces I see each day
adds up and starts to fade away.
I exchange laughter and speak a lot
but never do my eyes get caught.

They say that love can be first sight
but never did I think it might.
Books and movies make it seem
but fiction's not reality

All I know is your eyes caught mine
I close them now,  you're in my rhymes.
You spoke to me but i couldn't hear
my heart was beating so loud i feared
that you could hear it and walk away
but i don't know what made you stay.
