You make me feel vulnerable
Don’t know if I can trust myself with you
But I want to be there for you
So I will bring down my guard
Just hope you don’t break me from within

We’re both alone and we need someone
Life is not certain and I may not be for you
But I need to put myself out there for you

Feelings are not always well defined
More often their blurry and hard to find
But maybe with you they will become clear

The world is waiting for me to fight
And I need someone to help me try
Maybe you can help me through it

If life takes us different ways
It’s quite alright
But I can’t live with myself
If I don’t try this once with you

My heart is guarded by politics of the mind
My feelings struggle with rational thoughts
I should portray a certain image to everyone
So I can’t really show you how I feel
Though when around you I feel like holding you close
And not let time pass because I feel at ease

I feel you need someone
To be there to catch you
When you fall down hard
I want to be that person
A pillar that holds you
And builds you up

I feel that yearning in your soul
You think you’re self sufficient
But why don’t you rely on me
I want you to know
I want to be there for you

It’s okay to let yourself go
The world is not perfect
And some say you may fall
If you don’t prepare yourself
But there is beauty
In seeing the good of mankind

If your heart really seeks it
Then you will find someone
Whom you can rely on
It may not be me, but it could be me
My heart yearns to fill your void

I come without hidden agendas
And I want you to be complete within
I don’t know what you want
If you want me at all

I offer you a fort of solitude in my heart
And even if we stay only friends
I want to be there for you

And I cannot articulate a perfect way how to say
You inspire me and you empower me
I feel inadequate in your eyes
And I want to be so much better for you
Just being next to you I feel can bring about growth

I don’t know if our futures intertwine
But you are one special person that confounds me

True love is innocent
True love is beautiful

It's a touch without malice
A caress like velvet
Illustrating only true emotions

True love is innocent
True love is full of joy and happiness
When eyes glimmer brightly
And there are no false pretenses
Hidden in their soul
But Only pure intentions

It is a labor of love
That which I work

You ignore me
And you don't respond

I say, I love you
And you seem hollow
Take it lightly
That's all you can do

So afraid to know that is real
Thus you shunt me aside

Is this thing one sided!
No, I know that you need me
I want you to need me
I need you to need me

It is a labor of love
Which I will keep braking my back for

For some it takes a lifetime to fully fall in love
And to find a place to belong

Call me naive
But I think I've found a place of my own
In your heart

It is a labor of love
Which I will sweat through tears and blood

I wont rest until I've made you understand
There's only place for you in my heart

No matter if it brakes my heart
It is a labor of love
Which I will work over for your heart

Don't ruin the moment
We have a whole semester
To dismantle this ticking bomb
Surely we wont let it explode

Just smile at me and feel at ease
Don't occupy yourself with breaking my heart
There is plenty of time left to take jabs

Look at my eyes and for a moment
See the love in my soul
Don't deny me your warmth just yet
There is plenty of time to refuse my hugs

I know you'll soon be leaving my side
Is not you,is not me, its destiny tearing us apart
Even if you still loved me then
We'll be far apart

Its killing me inside
I want to be selfish for your love
Though I got to come to terms

I must let you go
But dont let me down so hard so soon
We have plenty of time to fall

Please give me
The best months of my life
And then you can leave
Make it seem like a dream
And then we can wake

Why end it so soon
When you know we'll be seeing each other
For a few months more

If we were meant to be
Than we will make it, far or near
But for now, can we please live in this happiness
Let us suspend it in time

Riding on the moon
My name is heard
Trying not be blue

The tide of life is high
Sounds of rationality become drowned
By the thoughts of disbelief

Beauty is really overwhelming
Dreaming is a tool for living
Surviving is merely all that is possible

Tonight the breeze of the night
Will cradle the thoughts of my pain
Beauty of the moon will transfix this being
All that will remain is solemness and calm

The shallowness of the frame
Now a day the gray cannot forget the crime
Ease of mind, for that there is time

There's a void for the intellectual when poor
Awareness only makes it worse

Knowing the socio-political mechanism
Controlling us and keeping our physical bodies bound
Only begs our mind to give up its emancipationist stronghold

The Spirit is only torn between
A socio-politically created reality
And the dis-associated self-edification of blind opportunity and hope

Becoming politically and sociologically aware
Of our "selves" within the context
Of our society is dangerous
Crippling, knowing the power behind the scenes

Submission corners an individual into indoctrination
Amorality seems to be the make-up of the seemingly strong
When every fiber of morality is subtly stolen
To assimilate into or right the wrong
Of the ******* up socio-political mechanism of our world
Either way, there's no way out
You're always tainted with the plague of amorality

The spirit is bought and sold
For the commercialization of it is dehumanizing to all

Any which way it can be analyzed
The rationality of the mind
Is dismantled piece by piece
Until it is absent from coherent thought

Knowledge is a weapon dangerous to the enemy
As well as the self
For truth is a burden deadly to the bound
By Disenfranchisement

Oceans of blue wash my tears away
Pain, torture only implores
Voids inside tearing up the seams
For emptiness has insufficient space

Languishing screams in their silence
Deafening to thoughts they threaten to be
Sadness, endless strokes blemishing the soul

Tie my dreams and drag them down till they drown
Heart halt in your meandering, not another blow
Love my wicked, don’t torment my youth

This face is becoming hallow and grave
All I want is stillness and peace, but alas it cannot be
Time is stealing everything from me
