Of Writing

Once again I am writing.
I've written a new song, and am working on another one right now, which I will post when it's finished.
This one is for the man...who I someday hope will understand.

You want me to open up
You want me to let you in
Wanting simply isn't enough
The thread we hang by is much too thin


I've built walls around my heart
Been alone so long that I'm scared
It might take some time to start
Breaking down the walls to breathe the air


To live, to scream, to want, to wish
To hold your breath until there's nothing left
To be the only one you cherish
To hold your head up with no regret


The darkest corners of my mind
The heart of stone I guard with my life
All of this could be yours in time
If you could end the pain of the searing knife


I want to be whole again
I never want to fear the sun
I want to dance in the rain
My life has only just begun


I'm trying not to pull away
I just need you to understand
This isn't going to happen in one day
My heart is on the mend


To live, to scream, to want, to wish
To hold your breath until there's nothing left
To be the only one you cherish
To hold your head up with no regret


The darkest corners of my mind
The heart of stone I guard with my life
All of this could be yours in time
If you could end the pain of the searing knife
