did you know id rip my heart from my chest?
for you
bare open my soul like a treasure chest
for you

you could cut me a thousand times 
and id revolve around you like the moon does the earth
your beauty the cause of my crimes
let me warm my hands at your hearth 

dance with me in the silver light
hold my body to yours
singing songs of blight 
hold my body to yours

such desperation on my tongue
do i speak
could i compete with your silver tongue
should i speak

this is a stand still
thrown away like trash in a landfill 
am i to lose? 
shall i let you win?
let you drag me down
let the water in and let me drown 

would it be easier? 
am i to lose?

a forgotten chapter in your storybook 
you watch me with a pitiful look
am i your sacrifice?
would i suffice 
id let you carve
cut
take what you need
make me bleed

would you watch the light go out?

i will never understand your promises

why make them if only to break them?

Do you even realize the pain you inflict with your words?

How deep they cut and smother?

Am I really any better?

I truly don't know

I've been miserable for so long I don't know how to be happy

But then she came along

Turned my heart from stone

My pain now not only my own

By her side where I belong

For the first time I've cried happy tears

I can face my fears

So deeply intertwined in my soul nothing could tear us apart

One not whole without the other

My view on life changed by her presence

How deeply I love her doesn't even make sense

Because I love her with every beat of my heart

My breath comes so easily

Fixing a heart and soul she did not shatter

Forever my moon
