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.
