You are the petals
to my rose
and the seams
to my clothes,
the everything nice
to my sugar and spice.
Without you I am
but half of a soul
aimlessly roaming,
a spoon with no bowl.
My darling, I must have you
right by my side
for life is a sight
but you are my eyes.
If I am a song,
then you are my notes-
if I am oatmeal,
then you are my oats.
I love you, sweet pea
you're the crackers to my cheese,
the bees to my knees,
the thank you to my please.
Most important of all,
you're the you to my me.

I'll love you 'til the rain falls dry
I'll love you 'til stars fall out of the sky
I'll love you 'til the world knows that you and I
were meant to be together.
Your kisses make me float on air
When I'm broken beyond repair
You know that I will always take care
of you when your sun doesn't shine.
You are the love and the light of my life
And I know that there will always be times
When love will get lost and cut up with a knife
but I will pave the way
and always be there to say
I love you,
and I'll forever stay.

Nothing special,
nothing to attract attention.
Standing in the middle of a two-way street.
No direction,
no motivation.
One out of everything.
Nothing stands out,
nothing stands apart.
Blending into anything and everything.
Becoming a chameleon,
bit by bit
but what’s the true color or a chameleon?
Nobody knows,
nobody cares.

Promise after promise
Weight onto weight
The boat of hope
is bound to break
Bonds are broken
Trust denied
The raft of life
is coming untied
Water and lies
are seeping in
Doubt and fear
reside within
Sturdy ground
is falling apart
How things have changed
Since the start
Faith no longer
worth it all
Love becoming
understandable
Now the floor
is falling through
Time for me to say adieu
Let's float around in nothingness
and teach ourselves to swim.

I hereby dedicate
me to you,
old to new,
one to two.
From this moment on
I give all my love,
two turtle doves,
and my Sunday afternoons.
I'll giftwrap my life
and my mind and my soul
but my heart I cannot,
for 'tis something you stole.
You, my sweet dear,
make darkness seem light
turn black into white
change morning from night
and you're something I can't be without.

Forever, he says.
Forever and always.
Thoughts thrown away
Follow your heart to the edge
of the earth
and fall off,
through a sky as clear
as a child's mind.
Full of what-ifs
and adventures to be had.
Fall through stories untold
and dreams
that the dreamcatcher missed.
Fall through unspoken wishes
and old forgotten memories.
Fall through anything
and everything
and fall in love-
where happy is a language
that everybody speaks
and a smile can act
as the sun
and every day is a happily ever after.

What happens when your good
isn’t good enough?
What happens when the going
gets too tough?
What happens when your love
isn’t strong enough
to keep the world upright?

What happens when your mind
is left open to the world?
What happens when the mirror
shows just a little girl?
What happens when you try
to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders-
and you drop it?

What happens when the world is yours
and then it slips away?
What happens when your life
turns into just another day?
What happens when you have a book
of things you want to say
that you can’t?

What happens when your wishes
stay at the bottom of the well?
What happens when your secrets
aren’t worth enough to tell?
What happens when your world becomes
a scattered, living hell
and there’s no escape?

What happens when the light
at the end of the tunnel goes out?
What happens when you’re living
in a shadow of doubt?
What happens when you lose
that thing you just can’t live without
and there’s nothing left?

What happens when you die
with your whole life left to live?
What happens when you lie
because there’s no truth left to give?
What happens when the only one left
to save you is you,
and you’re the reason you’re lost in the first place?
