My heart is yours to keep
It wanders with you
Even when you get a cup of coffee
And is captured in an intimate moment

My heart is yours to keep
While it is hard to fill this dark void
It is where it ought to be
With you, under lock and key

If you can't trace it
It lies in your wildest desires
Found in discarded dreams
My heart lies with you

You can cut it with a knife
Or dress it up with your cherished memories
Maybe even call it
"Pretty"

You know?
I'm hurt and lost
But without you, babe
I don't know pain

The pain of being kicked in the gut
Repeatedly
Yet still wanting the violence
Don't you want it too?

You and I - are we meant to be?
Maybe. Maybe not.
In some hopeless way, I've fallen in love
And your beauty strikes me cold

Lush forests lurk within those eyes
Finding some semblance of hope
Some sunshine emanating for a tiny moment
In that second, my heart is yours

To do with it
What you will eventually do
Whether you water the plant or not
It will grow
