My heart feels torn and thrown like confetti
Laying in my own bed of torment
I can see how the very blood in my veins has betrayed me
Thoughts, wishes, hopes, and dreams
The deepest desires of a young girl's heart
All within grasp now....

Why have my hands taken to shaking?  
Why has my heart begun to rattle in his cage?
Why do my thoughts fly like birds to far off lands?

Betrayal, let downs, curses and spells
A wounded heart...
This is why my hands shake in the light of love
How to have you understand that the very act of my presence here is courage itself
Still...Love demands More
Love begs it of me

Dear heart,
Listen now and make haste to hear this
To drown yourself in the sea of love is the purest way to die
Die to yourself
The time of making friends with pain and fear are over
These have been comforting companions only in that you were not alone at least, sinking into oblivion of nothingness
Now is the time to break open, dear heart, and pour out your very depths of love into this beautiful soul you have found
There are no guarantees in love besides this one
That love is always worth it.
