I dare not open my heart
Should I find the contents dried,
Shriveled from lack of use,
Tho' I've continually tried.

Should I open my heart?
I fear the absolute worst.
And if I'm left with nothing?
My fears, they are a curse.

I wish to open my heart,
To place it in your hands.
Mold it, mend it, shape it, break it.
Carry it over seas and lands.

If I open my heart,
If I give it to you,
Will you please give me the pleasure,
Of having your heart, too?

separate patterns dance their own tune
searching for fleeting moments
to touch
explore
on again, off again
praying that the other will return

a transient waltz
ecstacy at the fingertips
once more, its gone

a leap, spin, twirl
expressed with only the hope
of loving caress and praise

beg for
pray for
the étude
that brings
your path
to mine
forever

dont panic, he said
i'll always be here
whether in your your heart or in your mind
i'll keep you save from nightmare
i know its cold and
this distance is almost too much
one day, he said
i'll warm you with my touch

i wanted to believe those words
if only to allay my fear
hope and faith are hard to come by
when theres no one here

words can bring comfort
and comfort leads to trust
but trust brings nothing
when you dont back it up
words can bring pain
wounds that dont mend
dont panic, he said
you'll be okay in the end

someone should have told him
"think before you speak"
nothing is okay
i'm broken and weak
all we have are words
they damage but they heal
we love and laugh and hate and cry
words have taught us how to feel

im falling fast and hard
but the ground isnt any closer
i could fall forever, and ever
and ever further
my skin feels new
is this what its like to love?
my heart is racing
ive taken the deadliest drug
its sweet and its naughty
it fills my mind
its exactly what i'd hoped for
its so cruel and so kind
but that is you
i couldnt ask for more
except that you were here
that's all i ask you for

i never thought
in my whole life
that i could be caught
by a girl like you

your eyes are so blue
your smile, so sweet
you are the only one
that i want to keep

it feels like forever
since i've seen you
i don't like being apart
i know you feel the same, too

there's something between us
something sparked
you're the first girl
to ever steal my heart

when we lay'd beneath the stars-
i felt safe inside your arms-
and it was then that i knew-
i wanted only you for mine.

and so i brought you home-
and your skin felt quite divine-
when pressed close against mine-
i slept safe inside your arms.

tonight i lay'd beneath the stars-
wishing, wanting for your arms-
to wrap around me tight-
to hold me close tonight.

under all the stars in all the sky-
i whisper'd to the night, "i love you"-
but only the wind replied-
whispering back in breathless sigh.
