let go of my heart, for it knows not how to cope
with the love you offer so completely, no holding back
let go of my heart, if you don't then I will begin to hope
and life will be even more hazardous, can't lose what I lack
your eyes beckon me to come closer and closer
to know you, to love you, to hear your promises
I am powerless. I'll play with you, defy not the composer
of love, lust, need, and desire; despite what my past says
please, I'm begging you now. can you not see?
broken mirrors of me, rightfully haunt me and forewarn
of hurt that follows this game you want to play with me
shattered reflections, pieces of me, not one whole left even to mourn
your smile draws me to the edge of a vast canyon below
your touch gives me illusions of taking flight and immortality
then the demon hope pushes me as in blissful ignorance I go
I cannot fly! someone clipped my wings, a love bird's inevitable malady
I protest so much, transparent am I, my soul longs for love, I shall die
hope eternal lives on in me still, as our lips meet, our bodies bursting
with desire, the scent of love and sweet dreams we share, as side by side we
lie my heart is unleashed, my ears ache for your voice, for your lips I keep thirsting
my body yearns for your touch, my soul longs for your knowing.
of you, my love, I can't get enough; so love me long, love me now
blind my eyes with your beauty, quiet my doubts, let me leap unknowing
of the future I defy. Love has to continue for me with someone, somehow
your laughter tickles my very soul, your skin cools the fever in my head
just to spark heat somewhere else instead, hold me tonight, do not let go
let us love, laugh, talk, cry, and love some more; I know the past isn't dead
let us pretend it doesn't exist, that it cannot persist, once again let me know
the shelter of your arms, the excitement of your many charms, look in your eyes
and fear no more, this is forever, let the demons hope and let love push me to the edge
I will go willingly, surely there are love birds who can really take to the skies?
who knows maybe, we can be, the few who survive, because of the love we pledge
to be a safe haven for one another, to help, but not over-shadow each other, vowing..
to be friends as well as lovers, this much is different, from all the others, don't want out.
