Close to My Heart

Close to my heart
Lying against my chest
These notes you wrote
Times of joy put to rest

Singing Softly
The words of mine
Forgetting pain
And even time

Death is nothing
When pain persists
Leave me now
Other people to assist

You say I'm lonely
In search of a crush
Someone for me
Someone to touch

But thats not what hurts
What causes this pain
But the thought of you
Driving down "lovers lane"

Whats with this "romance"
This need to be held
I won't let you win
And let my pain melt
