the blinds are shut,
the shutters closed,
nobody appears to be home,

but here we have a glow
from deep inside,
perhaps a glimmer of lost pride,

the light shone through the shutters,
a floodlight on the grass,
they were at home

oh at last!
at last!
I know who I am,
I'm honest, I'm loyal.
old music is my preference,
I'm a romantic and can't hold in my admiration
for what I believe to be good,
I read a lot,
I like action and horror,
silver jewelry only,
I love your naked body as much as your naked soul,
for you can have me now,
because I am now complete,
I've found the love for me
that has always been within.
my nails dig deep,
and nobody knows,
the secrets I keep,
the darkness grows.
oh how it kills,
to see someone else call you theirs
when you say you're mine,
how the wound opens
and the salt rubs in
when I see you call all the girls the same thing.
love is holding a bow,
and your partner holding the arrow,
seeing the force get stronger,
and trusting they won't let go.

love is giving your partner a pistol,
and watching them press it against your heart,
longing for them not to tighten around the trigger,
and blow.
I'll always be the person that says how I feel,
I message you at 6am telling you I'm afraid you're not mine,
I'll text you at 5 saying how bad I want you before I'm out of time,
I'll tell you to kiss me harder and longer and rougher,
hold my back and tangle my hair,
tell you I need you and I long for you more each day,
say that I miss you if you go away,
tell you your best features
and how I adore your little quirks,
all because I'm afraid
If I don't say it now
when will I be able?
for tomorrow I could fall into a train track
or a car run me over
and you will never know . . .
distance can break you
and make you fear
but your lover will always be there
I swear my dear

distance can harm you in every way
but trust is key
or else your love
tends to flee

so hold them tight even though miles lay thick
scrimp change and notes
and get your ticket
and in your arms you will be

so stay strong my darling
together we shall be
i'm sorry for worrying
and being too attached
but my greatest fear is losing you
and never getting you back
guys with veiny arms and eyebrow scars
are more perfect than the stars

weak at the knees, blood pumping through
is enough to make me fall for you

nike janoskis and a quirky wave
makes me long for you to stay

your accent and loose walk
the way you use your right hand for your fork

the little things you say and do
all the stuff that makes up you

is simply enough for me to fall
and I can't see no way out, no, not at all.
oh how dumb i have become,
no thought just doubt,
i'm a shadow of my former self,
power i used to hold,
now all i clutch is you
oh to be strong,
clever
and brave.
love of mine,
I will remain yours
for the duration of my time.

through all the blowing months,
and the seconds that seem slow.
you my sacred Granth.

my heart will yearn,
and control won't be mine,
my insides will forever burn.

my body which in-cases
will grow ever hollow
and the fragments of my heart in precious places.
