Laid my eyes on you to rest
This feeling inside takes control and precedence
You've seen the clues hints and evidence
Can you want me? Can you need me?
My twinkling star my diamond in the rough
Appraised every time I see you smile


Priceless

I know you said to not let it destroy me,
but you were far too late.
I don’t want to get better.
I don’t want to get better.
I don’t want to get better.
But I can.
I know I can.
Because I can choose.
I can choose to love when it hurts,
when it stings,
when it kills me.
I can choose to feel it all,
even though I’ve buried it beneath
the dirt of muddy memories
and worn out regrets.
I can choose to change the words
that try to claw their way out of holes
I’ve dug for the people I’ve hurt.
I can’t choose that it was you,
I could never choose that it was you.
But I can choose to be okay,
even though I’m not.

You're hurt and only I can see
Your emotions and scars internally
Now I've been pushed so far away
So distant you can't hear me say
A battle I have to fight everyday
Just so I can have you stay
In my thoughts, my eyes, my arms all day
Can you see? You were never invisible to me

Second chances
Are simply
Excuses
To open old wounds
And drench them
With lemons
Just for the pleasure
Of the burn

hold me
like a father would his babe
like a lover would his mate

hold me
until the day I die
         let me die in your arms

hold me
protect me from this storm
that I seem to be unable to escape

hold me
through this muddled pond
full of unforseen circumstances and unforgettable consequences

hold me
when I cannot hold myself
anymore
