Telling me to pick a card,
    always giving her mine.
                
                Stealing my heart.

I never was a full deck after that.

All them tiny white lies
Got all them big surprises
Hanging on to those tiny
Tick tocking arms

Here is a quick lesson
a important session
You are the reflection of perfection

To compare someone to you
What am I to do
Compare a rock to a mountain
Compare a heavenly spring to a fountain
Compare a stone to a pearl
Your hair has that perfect curl

When you compare yourself your light is dimmed
It's almost like you sinned
Your self-respect trimmed

In the end we're all unique
And comparing ourselves with others is stupid
the language the weak speak
a poison arrow from Cupid

She had galaxies
In her eyes
And her tears
Were falling stars.

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?

i touched your soul
and scribbled my name on it
love, you’ll never get lost again

Living only in memories

Your existence now reduced
To pixels of the past
To LED backlit words
Of self expression

Painful reminders
Of the darkness that lies
At the core of my being

You will forever haunt me

The thing about a fragile heart
You never know when it will fall apart
It may be strong and smart
But there's always a bigger part
The part of art

Your intentions are pure and true
You genuinely care
But have you thought this through
Will you dare

Declare your heart
or fall apart

Don't let them too near
You felt nowhere
wishing to be elsewhere
Prepare to repair
