My eyes flutter open- wide they part
Due to the sudden pain in my heart...

I was a peasant
But he still saw me...

I'm a mess,
Don't look at me...

Note: I wrote this at the beginning of the year as...
Close enough to see, too far to hold...

I want to believe the words
But I'm scared out of my mind...

I was love-struck for believing you once,
I was hopeful for believing you twice...

This is based on a poem by Adrian Henri.
Love is accepting pain with a smile...

The heavy curtains open to reveal,
The passion I wish wasn't real...

When you walk into the room,
Do you even see...

Is there any chance you'd look at me,
Straight in the eye again...

Gazing longingly out the window,
Awaiting your return...

I need you in the morning,
My reason to get up...
