I love you

My heart is breaking
From the miles we spend apart
My fingertips are aching
To feel the beating of your heart
Desperate to have you near
I need you so much
To listen the unsteady rhythm of my lungs
Feeling breathless from just one touch
An escape into my eyes
Your irises swell from just one look
The echo that escapes my lips
You've got me hooked
And three words was all it took.

Try again

You're not even going to try?
Those are the words that pierce my heart at night
Every time since the last time
Patience. Time. Space - Distance.
Feeling like the left hand stuck on one
Waiting to turn into two again
The last words I should have asked you
You're not even going to try?

I want you to know
I never meant to walk away
I never meant to give you up
I never meant to let you go
But I need you to know

My heart was breaking from the start
The slow sad ending
To a love that would never work
I knew from the beginning
That you never let go of your heart

I was never the one
We were never made for each other
But I wanted to be yours
For as long as you'd keep me around

Now that it's over I can't seem to let go
I don't want to be alone

Emerald Eyes

I tried to forget you
I tried to give you up
I tried so hard
But it was never enough
Maybe we'd be better off
If we could go back to the start
Maybe if we never met
You would never break my heart
I wouldn't be so closed off
I wouldn't be so afraid
I would be able to love again
Instead of running away

Truth is.

I don't know why
Words are the hardest to find
With every vulnerability I hide
My heart is surrounded by ice
And every "nothing" is a lie
The truth is hidden behind my eyes
And the words come out at night
"I need you," and without you I'll die.

You could do better

Sitting here in the dark
This could be the beginning of an amazing start
With your skin between my teeth
I feel the quickening of your heartbeat

You could be my lover
Be my lover
My lover

Are you opposed to this
A girlfriend with a new twist
I could show you what you've been missing
Start doing instead of just listening

Better
You could do better
You could do better than her

Just one kiss
You'll be remembering the taste of my lips
One look into my eyes
You'll be mine, I won't even have to try

My lover
Be my lover
You could be my lover
Better
You could do better
You could do better than her
You could be my lover
Be my lover
My lover


What I really should have said to you that night in the dark.

Prayer

She walks so delicately
Each step
Ever so carefully
Brings her one step
Closer to you
And she breathes
A sigh because
Being away from you
Feels like dying
And every breath,
You can feel her breathe
And inside of you,
It's her heart that beats
And every prayer she speaks
Is written on your lips
So perfectly
And every word is for you



It's an old poem but still one of my favorites.
