velvet heart

When I was alone

I did not cry

My heart belonged to me

But now I feel my tears fall down

Like kisses on newborn skin

Somehow you opened a velvet door

That let love and hurt in

 

And I want you to hold me

But I understand you can't

Love can be a selfish thing

But I'll love you despite that

 

Now I hear the notes ring out

And I love the pain you make me feel

I've gotten good at making you believe

That the smile I wear is real

 

I can't regret the hurt

I have only me to blame

I opened up my heart knowing well

You will never see me the same

 

When I was alone

I did not cry

Now my heart belongs to you
