You're worth more, but less than me.

Location

Free falling while consumed with dismay
Love thereafter carries me away

So easy to stay for a story and a cake
Not easy staying different, but promises you make

Keep my mind on yours, the butterflies makes me worried,
Imagining the taste of my memories only to be bruised and buried

An action after words is more than worth fighting for,
After spitting out such beauty, stagnant states make me thirst for more

Was the slideshow mine or a lustrous hearts creation
Will I carry the shovel and unravel what was done, or become a statistics nation?

Not because I can’t get enough or because it’s become too tough,
More of what I wanted and the image seeming too rough

Can you pick up your pieces in time, at least for me will you try to shine

Easy to love, I make it to easy, but isn’t that what it’s about falling, in love

Medicine always goes down but sometimes it comes back around
The sickness is not good for you but the drug isn’t working the cure isn’t found

Your words try to cure me but you only confuse me
What happened never happened and it’s a slight lie that blinds me

Ok under the moon when the day is done, my hearts been pondering, but what about the sun
Is it too much fun, not enough run, the work for stability, shouldn’t take a gun

Worried about the shame I put upon myself, don’t be so certain
Comfortable in words to settle what’s uneasy, is not a way to draw curtain

What makes the train chug is not an all aboard but more than a simple word,
Conversation keeps the ball rolling but the relationship looks absurd.

Love can fuel the fire that burns my cheeks but can you feel it cinder your lips,
Listen to this..

Take it from me, I’m showing you all that I can be, is that why you love me?
Who are you? Say it’s not true, that you’re the best you can be?
Say it’s not true that you can’t show you love me.
Please say it’s not that you’re willing to set me free
I hope you will see
You’re worth more, but right now it’s less than me
