Be Mine
I hate to see you fly
I love to watch you fall
If you were my anything
You'd be nothing at all
When you're soaring through the sky
And hurtling to the ground
I hope you learn just what it's like
To scream without a sound
But when you crash
And when you break
I'll be there
And you I'll take
Your ruined wings, I'll splint them
Your shattered limbs, I'll mend
When you open un-blinded eyes
In me you'll see a friend
But this friend is no friend at all
Seeking in you some other
This friend with shallow, wanting eyes
This friend that wants to smother
The crumpled wings leave no escape
The mangled limbs, still broken
These scars were never meant to heal
I'll leave with you a token
This treasure that I leave with you
Guard it safely; guard it true
For someday I'll come back, you see
And show you we are meant to be
I'll bind you to me, thick and fast
Obsessively, this bond will last
For this thing I gave to you
Is nothing less than love
