Overcome

What’s worse
Loving someone
For it to not be returned
Or loving too much
Lesson’s learned
Let your heart speak
Softly in the air of dreams
Disappearing in the morning light
As you lay beside me
What is your goal?
In this race against time
Am I just a friend?
Or will you be mine?
Am I wasting my heart
As I have so many times before
Or will this time be different
Will I open the right door?
Am I headed into a disaster
Blinded by my hearts whispers
Will I be broken after
Or slowly glued back together
Trembling in my skin
Scared to speak
My heart can’t be hurt again
My soul is too weak
Do I stop speaking to you
To spare the pain
Do I stop dreaming of you
To spare the heart
I am lost
In a sea of words
Left unspoken
Expectations failed, hurt
Holding on
Letting go
Seems so easy
Like catching snow
The way it melts
As it reaches your skin
Like my heart
In the arms of men
Speak to me softly
Speak to me slowly
Not of beauty
But of memories
Spare my heart
Take the fall
Help me stand
Help me walk
Let me mourn
But not in vain
Let me cry
Even in your pain
Be my friend
And nothing else
Help me forget
And make me smile again
