Tonight,
You brought tears of joy to my eyes.
The first man to do such a thing.
You have made me feel,
Made me feel,
Wanted,
Cared for,
For the first time in oh so long.

You don’t wish to toy with my heart,
You don’t wish to use me.
You want to love me,
To love the unloveable.

You are brave to have climbed the wall around my heart.
Slowly, but surely.
The champion.

Now you are king.
But now I wonder,
What shall you do with my city,
My core,
My heart?
Will you rule it to ruins with war and betrayal?
Or perhaps build it to memorable greatness,
Making it truly immortal?

This is your choice,
For all I can do is sit beside you,
A loyal subject,
And perhaps a foolish one at that.

You say that you have wanted me all along,
Who knows if that’s true.
But somewhere deep inside,
I somehow knew that you were something to me.
Perhaps my inside knew before I did.

Perfectly imperfect is what we are,
Our love as flawed as could be,
We argue,
We pout,
You know exactly how to get to me,
As I always attempt to figure you out

You could crush me in a second,
With just your words,
But just one kiss could make it all better,
Sometimes I wonder if I’m just too fragile,
Shattering me with just a word or two

I always imagined that I was so strong,
But you took that thought away,
In no time at all,
Now I have no choice,
But to do the only  thing I know,
To hold my head up,
Standing tall

Every now and then
I wonder where you are
If you are happy
And if you ever look up at the stars
The same ones that I looked to
When you broke our hearts,
A piece of yours
A piece of mine
Shattered into pieces
All the remnants now overgrown with vines

There is someone else now
We love each other so
But I’ll always carry a piece of you
You may not even know
How much of me you took with me
When you walked out that door

Another sleepless night
Spent attempting to remember your face
But this time no tears
I have someone that fills the void
The one you deepened so
A piece of him
A piece of me
They make a whole

Heart oh heart,
Foolish and misleading,
Here we are,
Again,
Pain welling up,
Body shaking,
We let someone in,
Now here we are

More nights,
Crying into silence,
Wanting no one to know,
To know that we allowed,
Allowed someone to get that close,
Close enough to hurt us,
To shatter us into a million pieces

I  shall never listen to you again,
Only destined to be the lone wolf in the night,
Looking up at the moon,
Howling for the one I lost,
Praying to mend what is left of me
As the rest of me is now missing

Sometimes things just feel tight,
You try to laugh it off,
Something about our love doesn’t seem right,
Can’t you see the damage done,
The cracks in my sanity,
From when you run,
Away from the question a hand you see,
If you love me or her,
If you feel like  this is supposed to be,


Can’t give in,
Don’t want to let go,
But you break my heart  to pieces,
You’re messing with my flow,
I know that there is always tomorrow,
But perhaps that’s too soon


You don’t seem to comprehend this game,
As I won’t be the one played
Stuck here, looking  back on all the times I whispered your name,
I wish that you could hear,
Hear me everytime,
When my heart cries out,
When your doubts are on my mind,
So maybe if I write this,
And add a beat to this rhyme,
You will hear me loud and clear,
No more wasting time

Can;t give in,
Don’t want to let go,
But you break my heart  to pieces,
You’re messing with my flow
I know that there is always tomorrow,
But perhaps that’s too soon

I have the heart of a poet,
So easily shattered by your touch,
Be careful what you hold on to,
Because it just might be too much,
As it drips from your hand,
Piece by piece,
Never knowing where it will land,
Never having any peace.

Can’t give in,
Don’t want to let go,
But you break my heart  to pieces,
You’re messing with my flow
I know that there is always tomorrow,
But perhaps that’s too soon

Up and down,
I’m tired of this dance,
Walking the tight rope,
Driving me to madness,
Sinking my soul deep.

Manic,
Manic,
Manic,
I must be crazy.

Lock me up,
Lock up this monster,
Don’t look back,
As danger perhaps lurks behind,
Behind these eyes.

I would never hurt another living thing,
But my words are like poison,
flowing the veins,
of all the people who read my words.

Down,
Down,
Down,
I’m down,
Sinking to the depths below.

Prisoner to it,
impenetrable chains.

Behind Locked doors,
Olive skin,
Salty and smooth,
Impenetrable hands,
My every night,
Hearing me,
Hearing those four letters put together,
It opened the floodgates,
The soft, sumptuous core,
A bittersweet mixture of  fractured past and resplendent future.
Cloaked behind your mask of worldly expectation,
Behind the unsturdy wall of your desire to be champion,
The Hero,

Behind locked doors,
Blemishes were abolished,
Bodies were merely stepping stones,
Stepping stones to something higher.

Behind locked doors,
You hide.
