Open Wound

A stream of blood drips on the floor
Straight from my shattered heart
But I won’t allow the wound to close
And let the healing start

I will keep the flow alive
And let my soul wash away
Maybe if I’m dead inside
I can fool the next to stay

Maybe I’m doomed to be the friend
Maybe that’s all she sees
But I’d rather die standing
Than keep living on my knees

Too Much?

Would it be too much
If I told you that I like you
For every reason and none at all
Just because it is true?

Would it be too much
I if thought that you like me
For all the reasons you know
And all you can’t wait to see?

Would it be too much
If I said you make me smile
Just because the mere chance
Made me dream for a while?

Would it be too much
If I hoped you felt the same
Through no fault of my own
And only yourself to blame?

I will seal my lips today
And hold on to this thrill
I won’t say too much for now
Maybe someday I will
