Heavy is the heart
that loves so intensely,
a drop received
barely feels plenty.
I know too well
this is what you're able to give me.
But, greed consumes a high fee,
where guilt feeds the hungry heart, who wished being loved
was reflected back
just as greatly.

Heavy is the heart
that loves so intensely,
a drop received
barely feels plenty.
I know too well
this is what you're able to give me.
But, greed consumes a high fee,
where guilt feeds the hungry heart, who wished being loved
was reflected back
just as greatly.
I wonder if the love I give out is appreciated, when I love exactly the way I want to be loved.
Or perhaps, they suffocate just the same when heavy is the heart
filled to the brim,
left to spill.
