just because you don't see
the salty tears running down
on my cheeks, doesn't mean
the sadness behind them
doesn't exist inside me.

the only heart that will beat for you forever
is the heart in your own chest.

what if
the wounds won't heal?
what if
my heart keeps aching
so bad?
what if
my tears won't stop
flowing?

what if
I just give up?

from the way you look at me
like dreams can come true
I know you fell immediately
just as I did for you.

but just as
Adam and Eve
I couldn't stand
the temptation.

I'm risking so much
by touching
you.
But when our
lips meet
I don't fear
death anymore.

I ain't afraid no more
of the darkness
and the sadness
the 4AM thoughts
I got used to loving deep
with receiving nothing in return
I accept the rain
the sunless days
It isn't going well
but I ain't afraid no more
of the monsters in my head.

I begg you
To kiss my salty cheeks
lead me through the mighty jungle
be my light in the dark
can you please take my
sorrow
and cure my broken heart?
I’m on my knees
To begg you
To ease my pain
Amen.
