is silence stronger
than words that end up empty
or do you hear them?

my heart breaks for what breaks yours
everything I am falls apart with you
let me be your refuge and your strength
I will give you all of me for all my days
so long as you trust me with your heart

won’t you fight for me
when my heart calls out to you,
or will you ignore?

am I a drag, a bore?
what do I even try for?
all my hopes and dreams of loving,
have hit a snag.

you remind me that there are no monsters under my bed, no voices in my head and nothing that can ever harm me,
when I’m with you.

I don’t want your memory to fade
I don’t want to be left bleeding
if you ever walk away, I would break
the colors I see would be shades of grey
a sledgehammer to my heart,
brute and burning
a fear of a door slammed shut
and I left on my knees drowning in my sorrow
my heaven turned to hell the moment you left
I don’t want our love to be a battlefield

sometimes I wonder
if you think about me too
or if you forget
