When you open up a heart that barely trusts,
When you spill your soul to someone else...

The tears flow free on a hot summer night;
You left the door wide open...

Undisguised longing
To fix a troubled heart's ache...

I fall upon these bruised, bloodied knees,
In a field desolate and full of pain...

I'm okay, really I am.
You just broke and tore me apart...

New scars form upon a battered heart that cannot...
Easement, but is met by walls and is forever...

Here it comes again,
That empty, lonely feeling...

The flutter of frail
Wings amongst an Autumn...

Quick, take my hand,
Let's run away...

Kiss me hard,
Hold me down...

It's been coming for awhile now, always lurking on...
As we stood side by side looking out at it...

I sat on that old black leather couch, alone,
My fingers absently playing with that velvet box...
