Losing Heart

Never touch, nor feel cold sparks of desire.

Your soul gives life, trust I make our love that way.

Feelings burn my hope, unjust to fire.

Don’t look for my heart, I’m giving my grain away. 

Scoffs of pleasantries, yet I hold them tight, fall hard.

I can’t believe these versions of my memory.

Oh I’m sure love is blind, 

Darling, don’t you know that I can’t see.

I can’t keep sowing thoughts,

Tangled with mercy, fear and pain.

My heart has been out searching,

Within missing years where nothing’s been the same.

Be free, join my heart in its search for the waves,

Only to be caught in the wind.

Will we drown together?

Whisked away in lies, hidden words, any little thing.

My eyes are sore, careful with the lights now. 

I can’t ground, spinning to be free.

When they start counting beats, 

Move away from me.

But love, there’s a flower in my heart now.

It’s returned with you.

I can’t say words that make me scared,

Just know, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do.

Needless to say,

I need you to stay.
