Heart and Mind
You held yourself with grace and air
Denying your face, though it was fair
Watching him while hiding behind your hair
You were the one I couldn't snare
I loved you, yes it was true
But there was nothing I could do
I faked my smile just for you
Masking my feelings through and through
We grew apart all too soon
My heart was fading like the noon
To me your smile was the moon
Without it I became a loon
With your name carved into my skin
I knew that you would always win
Like balancing atop a pin
I battled against my soul of sin
Saying I hate you makes my heart break
Behind your back I was a fake
Words poured out like a flowing lake
Because the truth was just too hard to take
I lost the sanity of my mind
In fantasies of your touch so kind
It's unbelievable I was so blind
Now it's impossible for me to unwind
All those lovers were a lie
Nothing can replace your contented sigh
I dreamed of things that forced a cry
The lips waiting for you are far too dry
I just got caught up in my head
Tossing around in this lonely bed
Without your voice, inside I was dead
And drowning in a sea of red
You were caught up in your heart
Love so sharp it stabbed like a dart
Too terrifed to say it at the start
You dreaded a previous ragged part
Heart and mind forced us to pack
While I'm only allowed to think back
In the short time it took our love to stack
Simple fears led us both off track
Denying your face, though it was fair
Watching him while hiding behind your hair
You were the one I couldn't snare
I loved you, yes it was true
But there was nothing I could do
I faked my smile just for you
Masking my feelings through and through
We grew apart all too soon
My heart was fading like the noon
To me your smile was the moon
Without it I became a loon
With your name carved into my skin
I knew that you would always win
Like balancing atop a pin
I battled against my soul of sin
Saying I hate you makes my heart break
Behind your back I was a fake
Words poured out like a flowing lake
Because the truth was just too hard to take
I lost the sanity of my mind
In fantasies of your touch so kind
It's unbelievable I was so blind
Now it's impossible for me to unwind
All those lovers were a lie
Nothing can replace your contented sigh
I dreamed of things that forced a cry
The lips waiting for you are far too dry
I just got caught up in my head
Tossing around in this lonely bed
Without your voice, inside I was dead
And drowning in a sea of red
