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
Tag: love
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?
Like a sharp blade
He cut his way into dark corners
Revealing old tactics
I once thought were buried
It’s time to relinquish
Those destructive ways
Start fresh with new appreciation
For who I am today
Some daysÂ
I cannot fathom a realityÂ
Where your love spills over
Into the heart of another
But most days
I realize your love for me
Was never a reality at all
With my hands shakingÂ
I tried to reach out to you
And hold the parts of you
That were not quite put together
& Even with a heavy warning
I thought I was strong enoughÂ
To bear the burdens of your love
How wrong I was to assume
You could also hold me
I can still feelÂ
Your fingertips
Grace my neck softly
But like some poisons
You workedÂ
Slowly and effortlesslyÂ
To infect meÂ
With a swift touch
And leave meÂ
Emptier than before
every time I fall in loveÂ
with the sounds of gentle rainÂ
meeting my window in the night
i’m reminded of the times
my tears never reached your heart
because you saw through me like glass
tell me, did my storms calm you?
while I cried softly in the breeze
to soothe you, you were often forgetting
that you slept during moments of my pain
What's Mine Is Yours
