Bittersweet melancholy fills my lungs
As I look upon the things I love
Searching, always searching
For a way to make it better;
Make me better
I feel so lost in a world so cold,
Everyday I'm growing old
But a look inside reveals nothing but a lost child;
Broken and scared, afraid of my own mistakes.
All I want to do is give
But all I do is take,
Another day, another head shake
Trying to clear the cobwebs,
The thoughts, my fears.
A smile hides more than words can ever say,
Still I put one on everyday
With eyes begging for them to see,
And a heart hoping they never do.
Constant contradiction, stress with no relief
Staring in the mirror with disbelief.
When did I I begin to fade away
As numbness starts to grip;
Another day of darkness gives away to winter's nip.

A first moment that felt like a thousand
A lifetime unfolded before my eyes
As you sat across the room oblivious.
Your gentle smile, your charming laugh,
The start of a new adventure.
You drew me in, intrigued me
Made me question my intentions.
I sat there with an unconscious grin
Doing something completely out of character. A shy smile, a conversation with a friend, and I asked for your number;

You were like a wrecking ball
Breaking down my glass prison
Making room to rebuild.

Heartbeats and skin on skin
A complicated slow dance that draws you in.
Hearts ablaze and eyes full of longing
A crooked grin and the promise of belonging.
The caress of light fingertips and whispered sweet nothings
Every move in sync, bodies trusting.
I'll follow your lead if only you'll give me your hand
For you have my heart now, I hope you understand.
Oh what I'd give to have you beside me
For you to give in and not have to hide from me
I see the monsters that crawl under your skin
I'm begging for you to let me in.
Come out of the shadows, step into the light
Ill take on your worries, your troubles, your fright.

The longest distance
Is not from
North to south
It's when i stand
Infront of you
And yet you
Ignore me .
