Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again

I will love in full surrender,
And in nakedness be clad,
Expose the all, of all of me,
And in doing so, be glad.
Comprise it all together,
Wholly give and wholly take,
And have not even one regret,
If my heart should break.

If you break my heart

if you break my heart
I know I will never forget you
because I loved you once that will never change

if you tell me goodbye
I know that I will miss you forever
the memory of you will never feel strange

if you let go of my hand
I will know it was not easy for you
for if it was then that certainly is my fault

if the words make you tremble
the special words you once said to me  
locked away forever inside my heart's vault
