And I fell for those mischievous, deceitful green eyes
Before I knew it, my once beating heart was bared, unguarded before your eyes
Close enough to your body but never your closed-off heart
Dancing away from my grasp as you pull me closer, you always did ever so tight?
Every thought I had trained unto you but you were always stuck in the past
Hurt were you, haunted by your past
Isolating yourself from human contact but continuing to manipulate human emotions so easily
Jaundiced you became, sheltering yourself from the worst of harm
Kissed by moments of weakness
Are actually moments of strength but you’ve been wounded too badly to tell the difference
Returning back to that guarded cage you were taught to fly to at a young age
Seeking refuge from those who were possibilities at hope
Those who could free you from the past that keeps its clammy hands clenched tight around your heart, making you remember every time you were damaged
Underestimating emotions which remain everlasting and hold you captive
Your future diminishing every second you spend trapped in your own world
Vanishing from sight, vanquishing yourself, that’s what you are doing
Withering away as your external self dissolves piece by piece, a vast canvas of scars litter your skin, your internal self fighting a constant war, hopelessly losing
X is the number of times Death has tried to claim you
Your wings are clipped, but lean on me
A savior you aspire for
Because you feel helpless, unstable, reckless, tortured
Cast away in your time of need
Don’t close your heart to the world
I’ll be here for you, always, forever and more
Don’t turn me away
Every time you fall towards your darker moments I’ll catch you and bring you back to the surface
Forgive and forget those in the past for now you’re in the present; heading towards the future
Give yourself up to the emotion that’s caught your heart in an embrace, love
Love is all I have to give to you; in return, open your eyes to the world
