Break down my walls
To reveal the emptiness
That resides inside
Take a look
At my crumbling heart
That cracks even worse
With each new beat
Run your fingertips across my ribs
The same ribs that are supposed to save my heart from wounds
And my lungs from damage
But as you look at me with your eyes
That hide so many lies
And as you begin to break down my walls
I am no longer afraid of what you'll find
Because when you look at me
Like I am the moon the night sky
My heart pieces together
Each crack at a time
And the air in my body escapes my lungs
And a giddy smile spreads across my face
As three simply words leave your lips
And in that moment I feel alive
I feel as if I've never been damaged or lied too or betrayed
And in that moment I feel all my walls
Crumble and crack as your fingertips trace my collarbone
Maybe you will be my remedy
And cure me of my pain
Or maybe you will temporarily take it away and then create a new crack
In this already broken heart
