A Jump Start To The Heart
Here is the thing
Before you came along
I was doing just fine
I knew the score
My days all had an order
I made due with what I had
Perfecting my craft
While I put on an act
So I didn’t feel hollow
Accepting my fate
Content in the mundane
Ignoring the vacancy within
All the things
I was missing
Jaded by the past
Carrying around
My broken heart
That determined
Every step
Following me
Everywhere I went
A constant reminder
Of the emptiness
I thought I had my chance
At true happiness
And that was then
And this was now
A hopeless dreamer
Who no longer dreamed
I had accepted that
This is all there would ever be
For me
But this was before you
You’d probably run
If you realized
How strongly I feel
How the minute I met you
My insides turned to mush
My heart beating
Against my chest
Nice and loud
Big and strong
A constant drumming
As butterflies in my gut
Made their nest
Keeping me awake
Long into the night
While I got high
On all these feelings
You evoke
Even as I lay down to sleep
What a rush
This gift
A second chance
To finally find my match
This amazing guy
Who lit a match
Bringing back the light
Demolishing the darkness
Filling the emptiness
I thought I would always despair
Patching up my heart
I thought beyond repair
I didn’t think
I’d find this again
This happiness deep within
But now here you are
Making me forget
All the years
I stood alone
Giving me back
A piece of myself
I thought long gone
Pulling me from the haze
Waking me from the dead
Elation flowing
Through my veins
While I breathe in
This euphoria
Which I refuse to name
Not wanting a chance
That this might tarnish
Hoping in vain
This isn’t just a dream
An illusion that will end
Because I don’t know
If I could go back to that
To how it was
Before we met
The zombie that I was
Sleeping on my feet
Living in a daze
While I weaved
Through the maze
Just so I could say
I made it to the end
