Bed of Fears

This is the last thing I wrote, so it's the first thing I am going to post. The only things I know about love, are the emotions I've felt. I know very little, but for the first time in a while, I want to know more.

There is something scary about innocence

something forlorn about bliss

it’s a contradiction of sorts

when eternity is just a kiss

I lost yesterday by a breath
And today is another wrong to right
The floor beneath me shatters
And that’s how I fall asleep tonight

It’s what lies beyond the horizon
That keeps me wanting more
The unspoken warmth of tomorrow
That I’m always searching for

I don’t want once upon a time,
or happily ever after
I don’t want the bookends of fairytales
All I want is your laughter

Where is the heart I wore on my sleeve
The compassion once whole,
Where is the requiem
For the pieces you stole

It’s like catching stars
Nothings impossible to a child
But you learn through life
Not to let your imagination run wild

Now every time I lay out my hand
Every time I turn the page
The past serves as a bad review
Before I even reach the stage

I’m waiting for a someday
The absence of this fear
An eternity that lasts a lifetime
To whisper sweet nothings in your ear

And when the cards are facing down
and your hand is by my side
I’ll pull apart the curtains
And never try to hide
