A glass jaw, glass heart, and a love you just can’t see
My only hope, is that love is blind,
And only happens randomly

I’ve sifted through my encounters
I’ve had my chits and chats
I’ve weighed in many factors
To decide how to react

Some may run for cover
Others, may form a pact
Some can only pray to God
To help keep their lives in tact

It’s hard to play the hero
To survive every attack
It’s easier just to run away
And hide the guts you lack

There’s far less disappointment
Nobody has to hurt
No need to conjure up the courage
It takes to say the words

Ecstasy, elation, euphoria, sublime
Felt at once
To the extreme
It cannot be denied

Violent, in a not so subtle way
Fierce, the angst inside
Pounding down the corredor
Expecting to divide

To see the glimmer you once sought out
The beaming in your eyes
A joyful resignation
Born to arms, opened wide
The child in the pride
Who fell so far he flied
But he took it all in stride
He made his choice so easily
There was nothing to decide
Words, that led to actions
Only needed to be applied
Time, after time, after time
