Listening to: A Perfectly Good Heart by Taylor Swift

"I realized by the distance in your eyes, 
that I'd be the one to fall..." 
---Why would you want to break a perfectly good heart?


In many ways, I can go on believing,
The many grievances I've brought up,
Are nothing more than deceiving.

I could go on thinking,
What I've settled for is enough,
That there should be no reasons for
giving up, harsh words, or leaving...

But to believe that stuff and think on such,
Would make me feel no better.
We still have so much to live for,
So much to learn from, 
Yet I'm so forlorn with these needs.

What life could have been months ago
Will always be. 
Had all this never happened,
I'd still be happily single, blissfully unaware
of what life had for me.  

No matter what could have been,
No matter what past or future 
I could have seen,
I want to be here in our present,
And work out these things.

Our issues will always be issues,
It's up to us to compromise and see; 
It's up to us to fight and believe,
That what we have is more than
What others tried and failed to achieve.

I want you to want time for this.
I want you to look me in the eyes,
and understand all I want,
Is all the love and support
From someone I hope loves me,
unconditionally.

--Why would you want to break a perfectly good heart?

It's not unbroken anymore...
How do I get it back the way it was before?

Depth-less.

Currently Listening to: Lions, Tigers, and Bears by Jazmine Sullivan


Written sometime in March 2008.
***Inspired as I washed dishes, looking out the windows on a rainy day.

Rain drops falling down my window pane,
I look morosely into a sky of gray.
Still thinking of words I should have said...

Drizzle on down, streams of sadness.
I wonder if what I did was right?
I ended all the heartache...
Crawled on hands and knees,
Out of the madness.

Still thinking of other words to say to you...
That "I love you," but these insecurities 
pushed me away.

I sit here thinking and thinking...
My heart breaking to it's every beating.
Uprooted, displaced, upset and in plight.
I see you and need you now,
But no, it's too late tonight.

So don't go.  Please, don't let me go.
I need you to rescue me.
If you really want this, fight it out.
Fight for us to be free.

Love prove me that all we need 
is relentless devotion.
Come now and hurry, save me
from drowning in this ocean.

Dive in. Buoy me back up, and 
breathe into me.
Bring me back to life, and 
release me from this depth-less sea.
