the heart
wants it wants
there is nothing you can do
but give it what it wants
or make it suffer

the heart
is so fragile
handle it with care
don't give it away blindly

the heart
is a vessel filled with love
that love can soon turn into hate
if you let it

the heart
will forever be your best friend
or your worst enemy
but then again, it's all about perspective

The same old story
Girl loved boy, boy loved girl
Boy did not appreciate girl
Boy found someone new
Girl was destroyed by the weight of her world
As it came crashing down on top of her
Boy left for good
Boy never looked back
Girl never recovered
The same old story

my girl?
she is like lighting
deadly and quick

my girl?
she's beautiful
on the inside and the outside

my girl?
she has a big heart
if you had to draw it to scale
it would be the size of mars

my girl?
she laughs at everything
which makes me laugh at everything

my girl?
she is precious
like blood diamonds

my girl?
she is insecure
always critiquing herself
it breaks my heart

my girl?
she knows what she wants in life
and how she will get it
independent, to say the least
determined, would be the understatement of the century

my girl?
she keeps me happy
while i keep her happier

my girl?
she is far from perfect
but she is everything i could ever want

my girl?
she is asleep right now
i think i will send her a message
telling her why she makes my heart
act like a banshee in my ribcage

jesus?
god?
mom?
anyone?
are you out there?
this girl is driving me insane
why do i love her so much?

i wish she would just fall off the face of the earth and...
no, no, no, i take that back
why must everything be so difficult?

is this what love is?
this burning sensation in my soul?
this burning sensation running through my veins?

or am i just angry and unable to control my anger?
we will fight for a bit
then i will get over it, but she won't

so i will have to comfort her
and assure her that she is mine
and assure her that my love for her hasn't left the building

just because i get mad
doesn't mean i stop loving her
it means i am human and go ballistic sometimes

she lost herself
in a boy who loves himself
more than he loves her

a boy who needed to please
more than one girl
immaturity at its finest

when she lost herself
she couldn't find herself again
when he left for good

she became a shell
of her former self
now she was nothing
but flesh and a broken heart

she longed for him
to come back to her
and make her feel alive again
because now she was dead inside

she didn't fall in love
she ran headfirst into it, with tremendous speed
and no caution at all
unaware of who she was giving her heart to

now the lost girl
somewhere out on a swing set
where they spent long nights together
is imploding, while swinging back and forth

all we can do
is love each other
and never stop
because love is all we have
love is the adhesive
to our mosaic
without love
we are as good as dead
without love
we are finished

if your heart
no longer leaps and lurches
when i am near
then tell me

if my heart
no longer dances and dives
when you are with me
i will tell you

love is the fire
buried inside of us
that makes us fight for one another
and makes us act so crazy, from time to time
but mostly all of the time

you are miles away
we're separated by rivers, lakes, cities, mountains, highways
and breathing hasn't gotten easier
even when we're together, i know
i will have to leave again
and adjust to life without seeing you every day
which kills me
and takes hold of my lungs
and twists them
until i'm gasping for a breath
gasping for the feeling of your skin on mine
the feeling of your head on my chest
as you listen to my heart beat for you
