Heart of everything

There’s a quiet storm

That is you.

And you are playing with my heart

Placing high stakes,

Making me race… and ache…

And maybe I deserve it

Will you keep loving me?

I can't take it if you look away!

I already died the night before

When I hurt you

I want to warm your soul

Only I can't smile

With the ache of disloyalty

It is not just another day;

It is another day of sorrow.

I reneged on your trust -

With my temper;

Walked all over your good natured-ness

With my pride and insecurity.

Only, that’s no excuse at all!

You came along when I needed a savior -

I need you to save me again

From the all-consuming rage I direct at me.

Don't leave me stranded

On the end of a line;

Let's head for the aisle.

When I'm with you,

The whole world can feel my heart simmer.

Like Sade, you are the lovers’ rock

The rock I cling to.

Somewhere in my sadness,

With the walls crowding me,

You lent me your tenderness.

You are a force stronger than nature

That keeps me alive.

I hope with you

Because you are brave for us.

We were chosen by love

Together we survive;

Apart, we leave a wreckage of breathing pieces in our wake.

Under the constellation of the stars;

With the moon standing high in its splendour;

My heart and I were talking …

I asked her about the endless possibilities of you and I;

She gave a lurch…

And she said: “He is your light at dawn…

And the glow in your sunset.”

I couldn’t argue with my Aquarian heart!

Is it a crime,

That I still want you?

And that I want you to want me

With your last breath?

Because I crave your love

To bring me back to heights of delirious pleasure.

And that:

That is the heart of everything.
