Your Court, This Field

You fell for another fake one, the fizz of it all soon turned to flat.
She played you as a worn out fiddle, when you've always wanted a violin.
Music plays, raps in your head, your heart on a rusted plate.
I'm here for you, your friend, tried and true.
After all this time, I think I've earned my stay--
I've always shown my real colors, everyone knows that what you see
            Is what you get, with layers of color to bloom, to beat.
I've quieted down though, the fight is not mine to hold onto on my own anymore.
If you want more than my hand in friendship, my hugs and my laugh,
You're going to have to see the truth inside, not run and hide.
The feelings are off, I learned the switch once before,
It's hard to pull--but I've done it. It's my corset to survive.
To suck up my pride, conceal it from my heart, my mind, your eyes.
Maybe if I stop. Maybe if I move forward. Push myself, and am just your friend--
You will finally learn. That you don't want the hay in the stack,

But the ruby in the diamond mine.

Let Love Go



If I let love go,
Let it fall from my heart
Will I still be me?
Will I still be standing?
It’s always been,
What holds me up.
It’s my strength and my weakness
My walls and my doors.

So kiss me and leave,
It’s what you’re good at.
Kiss me and leave--
Will I keep the love in?
I want to let it fall
Let it fall from my heart.
But I can’t let go
Either you got me good or you got me wrong.

True loves they can come and go
But the ones that touch your soul
It seems like they just grow.
You came in, seven years ago
I tell my heart to be silent
But with kindness or sadness
I can’t seem to let the love go,
It consumes me whole.

Artist


Artist.
The tortured one.
He lives in ink.
Belongs to none.
Never able to make up his mind.
Broke me,
My soul.
Made me stop believing.
The heart tries to go on,
While he haunts all memory.
Take your needle and your dye
It’s the only world
Where the true you lies.
