Early Morning Clarity
Wouldn't you know, my sweet
My heart, open as it seems
Begging to be plucked
Poked
Pulled from my chest and trampled
Is made of sterner stuff?
The promise of heartbreak
The sullen, stained silver lining
Is that you appreciate what love is real
You learn how to love and love right
And
That hard coating shrugs off all but the most vicious of onslaughts
The Walls of Camelot, as it were
The gentle touch of your beautiful wrist
Could hardly harm me
You could lie and cheat
Hit and fake and bite
Attempt to plant the venom that kills me
But your pretend venomous bite
Is my antidote.
While I let my very soul
Be the deterrent
And my faith in you
Be my justification
Tell me about you
All about you
Tell me things I don't want to hear
Thoughts too sad to bear
How often, how hard you've been damaged
Let me watch the fractures fix
I could talk endlessly about what makes happy
But frankly
I don't know
There are so many things you do that make me happy
So much that Happiness has a different meaning each time you make me smile
Or
Each time I smile thinkin 'bout you
Yeah, like right now.
We make our own blueprints to happiness
You are featured in mine
Look again
The plans say
'Hold her
Keep her
Build your world around her'
I can't argue with the blueprints
