Part 1
This cuts to deep, this feeling of losing you
Like you are hanging at the edge of my fingers willing to let go
This emotion so intense, why does it bruise me, this feeling so strange it consumes me.
The dream still fresh on the shores of my memory
The pain still raw in my heart, the tears still resting on my skin
Why do you mean this much, what is it about you that my soul can’t live without...
I sit here wishing I knew, longing for answers inside this hidden truth
The secrets my lips choose to keep even when my body can’t breathe...
What is the point in hoping
When all hope will fail
What’s the point in wishing when your boat has already sailed
Why can’t I embrace the now forgetting about...one day
Will he still be here,
Will his fingers welcome my tears
Will my name flow from his lips like a sweet song of passion
Will his eyes inside me see
The unborn miracles birthed in his heart...
When he lies awake at night and his eyes forget how to sleep
Does he wish I was there next to him
So he could examine my technique...
My mind races as my body realizes it can’t stop...
Trying to save my heart, preserving my pain
Ripping me open once again
Life so fragile as my body breaks
My heart shakes
My eyes drown in this emotion...
This feeling so unfamiliar, it scares me
So intense it becomes me
Alone I sit and break trying to find an escape
Here you stand with my heart in your hands
Promising to guard it, to hide it, to love it, to make it disappear
This pain, these tears, the nights that had ears
The days that shouted
My pain, my failure, my hurt,
The nights I sat alone in the dark looking for my broken heart...
Slowly I remember why
Why I get weak when you come close
Why my heart broke when you weren’t there
Why I love you
The way your presence draws me in
How your hands long for my skin
Why every breath left me hoping there would be another
How your eyes ignited my soul
Every time my lips touched yours...
I froze as emotion breathed life
As if their existence till that moment was pointless
Nothing but thoughts floating in the wind
