If I must fight for the rest of my life
I better get some stronger armor
And even though my heart maybe broken
My spirit remains untamed
So I'll continue to fight for a love I don't quite understand
I'll pluck daisy petals until they say you love me
If there wasn't a risk of being burned
I guess then love wouldn't be love...
Anything in life worth having has it's sacrifice
And I am mine
I will chase you until my lungs explode
I will prove my love until I'm justified
I'll keep all your words in a box under my bed
Because love knows not it's own depth
Us meeting was fate, becoming friends was a choice,
but falling for you was out of my control
This is all such chaos and passion
It's pure yet tainted
Society has ruined our hearts and taken over our souls
with temptation and lust
But I am so intrigued by your mind
that my happiness occurs in silence
And my love's energy is transferred with a smile
We're all made just a little bit broken,
so tell me who is to blame?
We've all got battle scars and wounds
from fights we've lost.
And I'm always going to be an imperfect mess
I'll change until there's nothing left
But I will not be defeated
With my bones exposed I'll continue to fight.
Just take me in your arms and leave the rest alone
I want to know I belong to you
Like the heart inside your chest
There's still a flame of desire burning in my eyes
come dance with me before this fire dies
Just let my love adorn you as only you can
Rupture this stoic heart
Let me breathe you in as you
Fill my arms
Be my poem with all the perfect words
And I will do my best to try and fix your busted heart
I'm just a hopeless lover
what can I say?
I just want to inject your laughter in my veins
so as not to be left feeling so much emptiness.
I'm so parched,
I'm tired of drinking from this dried up wishing well
Could it be that with this love I've created my own hell?
