When My Head Defeats My Heart
My lungs like a failing engine
Hug my ribs tingling the need to breathe
Your arms with mine I imagine
Like a train on its trail my body cant stop trembling
Thoughts of you leer back
Forcing reality to puzzle my reasoning
Eloquent silence injects life to my heart
Feeding the obese fear of letting go my sight
Alone with naked words
Silence crying skiing on threads of icy memories
Weaving a pond for my eyes to bath on
When to search the horizon, our love my ozone
Reasons for my doubts I find
Even the base of my worries
cages of my heart soon to be your prison
A nest where lust and love reside
Like a saint lost between walls of perfect
My bleak present sold per fact
Trapped between your voice and lips
Hanged by the dusty air purified by your presence
Maybe its the way your voice sounds
Or the way my heart pounds when close to yours
Maybe its the thought of your lips on mime
That paralyze me when I have to tell you I love you
