Glass Heart

Things go up.
Things come down.
But things don't shatter
until they hit the ground.

Red like blood,
But breakable like glass.
When you speak
It beats too fast.

Too fast for you.
Too fast for me.
Too fast for us.
Too fast to dream.

To dream of love
between you and me
under the stars
for eternity.

It's easy for you
to do this to me
to shatter my world
and leave it be.

Life is sweet,
Be not too shy.
Tis hard at times
to keep a head held high.

Quiver thy lips.
Open thine eyes.
Hold thy heart
toward the sky.

I'll hold it up
where you can't reach
so you can't tear it
piece by piece.

It's not that I don't
have the tape or glue.
Its just that I've learned
a thing or two.

Not enough truths
to so many lies.
Can't be too careful
in this life of mine.

I've tried it all
to be with you.
And now I know
one thing thats true

Limits exist
for you and I.
I don't give up.
I'll try and try.

I'll fight it out
to the end.
just to see
you my friend.

And sometimes things
aren't what they seem.
Like I'm stuck
inside a dream.

Hope is all
I can hold.
Just until
truth unfolds.

From this, I
have something learned.
Something dear,
I won't return.

Something about
you and I,
promises,
as well as lies.

Here's the thing
I've held onto.
The only thing
that is true.

It's that my heart
is just too
breakable for
someone like you.
