Once

couldn't give you my heart when what's left of it is not
      enough to share.
       washed away in the rough current of streams that started
        out as a leaking faucet's tears.
       I would hold her in my arms ,not knowing what am I 
       supposed to feel?
       paranoia would whisper to me when lips kiss,
       could there be other men that these lips conceal?
       I once would of loved you deeply and never would I drown.
       love once had me at a lost for words but at the hands
       of  "amazing grace" thank god  I am found.
       time to love myself ,take me as I am , these words 
      I speak to the image of my own reflection.
    once asked , why so shy?, why so quiet?, 
    not knowing what should really matter is the answers to my
    very own questions.
    once upon a time I would of .......but now it just doesn't seem fair. 
    an uneven exchange where I give you my heart but in return you
    give me back my very own tears.
