you warm up my heart
like sunshine in the cold
you look at me and oh;
I want to love you so

there goes my heartbreak
running after me
you pulled me in
and said I would be free

when I cry
all day and night
until dawn breaks and night falls
until the stars light up the dark sky
you will be there
you will be there for me

pulling me into your warm embrace
warming up my ice cold fingertips
and kissing your soft lips seemed like the sweetest thing
everything seem to stop at that moment
as if the whole universe froze and gave us time for more—
for more—   time
for      me
to pick up the courage
to say to you
I love you

death, for us to rest in peace
since we can’t live in peace in this reality

"Rise to the occasion"...
Whispered the still voice
Stop falling through the seemingly bottomless situation
Shut your ears to the wailing and distracting noise

Activate your powerful wings
Don't lose sight of your set heights
Respond to the bell of victory as it rings
Rise! Rise!! Rise!!!

Pay attention to what or who
You give your resources (time & energy) to
Attention is an initial cost
And ongoing expense on all endeavours

Attention that is smartly paid
Has great return on investment
And attention not paid
Or paid on the wrong things
Returns a cost that could be unbearable.

I want you
But I don't want to

I want to fall
So bad
To run
And trip
To crash
And burn
I want to hurt
To feel
Pain
A reason for it
The air is
Thin
Can't take too much
It hurts
But why?
No reason at all
