You can break my heart, I’ll let you

I am fearless

When it comes to you

I would jump from the highest cliff

If you said you’d meet me at the bottom

I am vulnerable

My feelings for you are stronger

than all the feelings you have ever felt before

I am blind

Trusting you with my heart

To hold it in the palm of your hand

But you’re scared

Scared of what?

Are you afraid of the dark?

Darling, night always comes

Are you afraid of pain?

Running away from it only makes your feet ache

Are you afraid of loneliness?

You were born alone too

You’re afraid, but maybe our hearts are made to break

So we can find their every piece

learn what they’re truly made of

Maybe our teardrops are the only thing

that can save us

From the drought of apathy

Maybe being burnt is the only way

to light a flame

And be our own light in the darkness

Deep cuts never heal

they leave a mark

and maybe that’s a poetic way to say

that our love is somehow going to last forever

alive or as a mark in your heart

But you’re afraid

You’re afraid of love

Babe, don’t we all?
