Erosion

If I were a mystery 

And this was a clue

Maybe you could find me

Buried beneath everything you thought you knew

Denying it one more time

Eroding my very core

All it wastes is my prime

Maybe I don't want to waste it anymore

If I just keep holding on

If I continue to wait

Confined inside the lines you've drawn

Will your feelings abate?

Or am I just prolonging 

An inevitable storm

Striving for a sense of belonging

And love to keep me warm

If I remain a mystery

And all my explanations you refuse 

Just be careful I don't find me

Before you realize how much you've got to lose

365

It's all just days and days

They added up quite fast

It's all an ongoing attempt

To create something that will last

Something worth holding onto -

To be worth it to someone

Something to grow into

When it's all said and done

It's all just little moments

Adding up every day

It's all a futile attempt 

At finding the right words to say

Because words always fall flat

In comparison to 

The brightness in your eyes

And what I feel for you

It's all just chemicals

Bouncing around inside my head

It's all comfort and warmth

Filled with flames that we fed

Been burning for a year now

But that's silly, you know -

It started long before then

I just tried not to let it show

It's all just a choice

I've chosen you every day

It's all comfort and warmth

Knowing I wouldn't want it any other way
