I try to make your place
in my overweight heart
as small as possible

and yet

you punched your way
through my chest
with only two words

(my angel)

When you set my body on fire
       it must be...
because every cell loathes you
       it must be...
because your rage is consuming
       it must be...
because hell lies between us

When I look into your eyes
my heart beats so fast
it makes me forget
that I don't love you

I know that
for one moment
tomorrow morning

I will have forgotten
this pain

tearing through me
like lightning
through a tree

but after that moment
I will be struck
all over again

I see you in music
notes are steps
closer to you
press play and
we never pause

Sometimes I can feel it
     when we're thinking the same thing
sometimes I can feel it
     when you're thinking about me
sometimes I can feel it
     when you're looking at me
sometimes I can feel it
     when you're watching me
sometimes I can feel it
     when you're there
sometimes I can feel it
     when you're not there

sometimes I don't feel anything at all

I look at you
and the feeling in my chest
is a delightful pain

I look at you
and my heart jumps
it lunges for your throat

You missed a piece
when you broke my heart
here it is
(it's yours anyway)
