Tangled

Melting into your hands
This fragile heart of mine
Wanting you to understand
Our place in time

Picking wild flowers
On the edge of tomorrow
Living in an ivory tower
Guarded by fears & sorrow

Writing my thoughts 
On borrowed hours
My hearts caught
In a thicket of cowards

Racing to find my place
In time to save face 
Wanting to fit in
I dove in on a whim

Into a sea of discontent
Where lonely souls & I lement
Captive to regret
Our fate tangled in a net.
