Tours of a Broken Heart
You hung up again
Same as the last three nights
But tonight something was different
The quiet was awfully loud
The sounds of my thoughts booming like mortar fire
My fan humming like a chopper transporting a wounded soldier
My breath long and slow
Echoing in my lungs like a cave yet to be disturbed by the atrocities of mankind
I am struggling to ask you some questions
Why did you find yourself so at home with my thoughts?
Boom
How did you find your way into my padlocked heart?
Boom
What made you want to open the door to my soul after I explained to you the battlefield that is my life?
Boom
Am I mistaking friendship for romantic interest?
Boom
Mortar fire leaving craters the size of the curiosity I have for your plans for me
Because I have no intentions of being
The boyfriend when he can't be
The one time fling or anything in between
I would be a fool to believe that I deserve you but I know I can be everything that you need.
So please leave me a map to your heart
Show me how to water the garden of your self-confidence
Give me the key to your admiration
Let me tour the cracks left behind by those who were not worthy
Pull out the skeletons in your closet so we can dance with them until they no longer scare you
Show me how to love you and your heart will become my home
Show me how to trust you and a day without me you will not know
Show me your scars so I know where to plant tender kisses and show me the parts of yourself that you do not dare to love because I will
