Total Eclipse Of My Sanity

To be Seen, is to be Loved

My head is haunting me
And my heart feels like a ghost
I need to feel something
Cause I'm still so far from home..

For everything that hurts
That tears my heart to shreds
That holds the knife to my throat
A cruel smile upon its lips
As I stare back with blank eyes
Waiting for the sharp sting
Of my flesh splitting in half
For the numbness that I feel,
Staring up at the tapestry of stars hanging over my bed
I can feel my heartbeat in my lips
They're chapped and scabbed over
A sign of an anxiety riddled mind
Endless picking,
Flaking,
Like the pieces of my heart
Shedding its protective shell

Cross your heart and hope to die
Promise me you'll never leave my side..

For the shimmer in your eyes
The way they sparkle and shine
When your smile reaches them
For the way you laugh
When I make ridiculous jokes
A sound that makes my heart flutter and sing
For the way you speak
Eloquent
Dignified
With a hint of insanity
Like hot chocolate spiked with the finest brandy
Warming my soul
You heal me, with just your words
Just your love
Your care

My dearest friends,
Even if your hope has burned with time,
Anything that's dead shall be re-grown.
And your vicious pain, your warning sign,
You will be fine.

Your redwood eyes
I'm lost in them all the time
Your heart sings in tune with mine
It's own beat, unique and divine
A compliment
Not an overshadow
Not a replacement
A duet
Your hands holding mine
Keeping me steady and grounded
Your hug holding me to this earth
Even when I want to leave it
My eyes are the ocean
That found their forest home
The place they feel safe
And content
And loved
I never wish to leave your side

Any type of love, it will be shown,
Like every single tree reached for the sky.
If you're gonna fall, I'll let you know
That I will pick you up, like you for I.
I felt this thing, I can't replace,

I cannot live, I cannot breathe
Unless you do this with me
