What do you doÂ
When a love so strong
Starts to take on a form of its own?
Do you let it run free
Like the wind through the trees
Or anchor it down to a home?
Will you tell them that I loved you?
Or neglect to speak the truth?
Give me the brush that you will use
To paint me the one uncouth
Though you drew yourself a tainted heart
Strokes of detail the world should see
I will hide those colors dyed too dark
Your work of art is safe with me
I write the loudest words
When my mind is serene
But sit in quiet rooms
As my thoughts start to scream
I can feel his whisperÂ
behind closed doors.
The harmonic undertonesÂ
pass me by as I wrapÂ
myself in the smooth melody,
wishing to be the song he humsÂ
under his breath inÂ
the midst of darkness.
I was always warned about your type
A voice of velvet
A taste of poison
On the lips of a god
“They will rule your mind”
But I seem to be just fine
He held me like a chalice of gold
With two hands around me
I reminded him that, like the Fountain Of Youth
Many men fall weak in their search
For the eternal swim within my body of water
He smiled and tipped his head back slowly
With his lips pressed against me softlyÂ
He reminded me that his search was over
Therefore no one will ever again
Taste how sweet my river can flow
You promised you could handleÂ
All those broken bits of me
Despite the fact, I knew damn well
I had already made you bleed
So, I can’t begin to blame youÂ
For failing to bring me peace
When you fought at first, to make it work
But would never be what I need
It was just hitting noon
When I thought about youÂ
Under waves of the afternoon heat
I could picture your stare
How we danced everywhereÂ
How your love always tasted so sweet .
But a cloud met the sun
And nostalgia won
As I stood in the shade all alone
Thinking “how could it be?”
Thought it’d always be me
To tell others that you were my home
It's about time you stop looking for happiness
and start embracing it...
“I can feel the heat of your heart,”
he said as he touched me with icy fingers.
I wonder though, was he melting?
Or was I just left to freeze over?
What's Mine Is Yours
