To love is so much more Than this idea of perfect contentness Love is vulnerability It is giving someone the key To your precious dark world It is making room In the empty part Of a special heart That opens only on occasion Love is letting go of the strings To your favorite marionette. No longer the puppet master Of your emotions With the warmth and joy Comes the wretched feeling of it being gone And yet, we dip ourselves into the deep Abyss of it anyways.

I've been getting it wrong
To love is so much more Than this idea of perfect contentness Love is vulnerability It is giving someone the key To your precious dark world It is making room In the empty part Of a special heart That opens only on occasion Love is letting go of the strings To your favorite marionette. No longer the puppet master Of your emotions With the warmth and joy Comes the wretched feeling of it being gone And yet, we dip ourselves into the deep Abyss of it anyways.
