sometimes all there is, is dark
the sky, the room, the eyes
sometimes all there is, is pain
the heart, the mind, the body
guilty of being human
humming because you forgot the words
the words, humiliating
guilty of trusting first
you don't have to earn mine
I earned stripes on my back
stripes, from being burned
guilty of loving hard
not knowing you but loving you anyway
any way you could hurt me, you did
did you know, my heart isn't glass
my heart is steel in a pretty pink case
steel can get cold easily
so I love unconditionally
love undoubtedly
love without sorry
guilty of over analyzing glances
gouging out my eyes
putting them in my palms
passing them off as marbles
little glassy ***** with a sprinkle of color
rolling my eyes over to you
you tell me what a glance means
because now you have my eyes, both of them
in your palms to roll back to me
I gave you my glance, now give me yours
guilty of giving away time
you want some of my time
here you go, like a free pen
you use it when you need it
the rest of the time its lost and useless
it took me so long to realize
time doesn't come back
every second lost when a new one is gained
again and again
second lost second gained until
no more seconds gained
guilty of being me
this is who I am
I am human
I trust first
I love hard
and over analyze glances
I give away time
and sometimes all there is, is dark
sometimes all there is, is pain
