Here at arms width
 
 
Never hold it so close to your chest
Run or fall too fast with it
Because the deeper it's forced
If you let it dig in
The more it's engorged
When pulled out; will sting
And that's merely human weakness
We must find comfort in some others heart
All is good, till they come down from it
And try rip it back out
You're here at arms width, so please before we begin;
don't hold it so close to your chest.

I give you the key
The key to my heart
A heart of gold
A heart that has been shattered
A heart that has been spat on and trampled
A heart that doesn’t want to go on
My heart that struggles to beat
My heart oh so young
My heart that has been through hell
My heart that is no longer mine

One chance

I have endured
the pain of
letting you go
But not the pain
of losing that
one chance
of finding you
again

DEATH ON A MIDNIGHT HONEYMOON

The sun blood red shines bright on high,
the birds all flee as crows say hi.
The last lone beat your heart did sing,
echo in me as I see our ring.

A Speck of Kindness

Maybe i have become jaded
in this world of utter
shamelessness
that one simple act
of kindness
brought tears in my eyes

Lullaby

I long to hear once more
my childhood's hymn of joy
to lull me to sleep while
in her bosom
its a rarity in this world
of woes

My Angel, My Friend

He is without wings
nor a halo up there
But he makes me feel
heaven is just here

Unchained

I have lost the remaining
few strands of the gossamer
thread between you and i
Now i am groping for a rope
to hold on to as i strive to
fight the emptiness inside

Overnight, Overtime

I miss the person
you were once
overnight, overtime
you have changed
now i am staring at
a stranger

You can taunt me now to leave my sorrow
But if I break today, I can't break tomorrow

You two loved my bow tie,
my bow tie it had been
I gave you up my bowtie
after you gave yourself to me
And now that week is over,
what you gave me don't mean jack
I wish you didn't love it
Cause' I want my bow tie back :'(

You asked for my hand
I said yes but I had two
He asked me for my hand aswell
I didn't mention you
He didn't ask the question
And you didn't see the signs
but in the end it's relevant
that I'm not yours you're mine

Not an entry as I don't meet the criteria. Just want a place to put it.

"I'm sorry"

You gave me
Everything
