To Keep

Searching for myself in the great void

Flawed and scared

Incapable of tolerating my own heart 

I desire the things that destroy me

Your eyes are deep black, the hue of the most magical things in life 

the sea, the sky and all my reasons why 

and with those eyes you could have set the sky on fire 

but chose to burn me instead 

In loving me you hold a knife at my throat 

In loving you I tell you exactly where to cut

Hate my mind that drives you crazy 

or befriend the soul that drives you home

Do I pretend or am I that deep?

Who am I and why must I be important? 

Who am I and Am I yours to keep?
