Be My Valentine

In a silent room, I have time to think
It can't slow down for a second
What am I missing, what is this weight on my heart
Tugging at the strings of emotions
My heart beating faster and faster it won't slow down
Why, because I'm thinking of you
You rip the heart of me, innocent thoughts of romance
The brightest fantasies harvest time
Like looking at gilded art
I have no shame spilling my heart
I want, I need, something beautiful
Filling the space that needs to be taken up
The downward spiral, writing lines of red magic
Signing up for a prayer that will listen to my plea
I live in a world of melodies
Melodies that sing for the one I crave
The harmony may be filled with a sound of greed
But it is also true and endearing
My body is aching
This heart of mine is trembling
Holding on to my self control
Longing, what you witness is what you want
I want you to be my Valentine
