My Time, My Tears, My Heart -------------------------------------------
I watch you now,
sleeping.
I can hear every breath.
I can see your chest
rise and fall
as you lay in my bed.
You really need to understand
that I'm falling in love with you
and there's nothing
that you can do about it.
You don't seem to see
the tears that fall
upon your head
as you sleep.
You can't see all the pain
that's in my heart
because I'm giving
you my heart.
The part that hurts is that
I know that I can't have
all of your heart.
I want my heart back.
I don't want to let go
but holding on
is hurting me so much.
When I think I want
to let go of you,
my heart holds on tighter.
I know that this
won't last forever,
but I still don't want
it to stop.
Everything around us
remind me that you have her.
Your pictures, your memories
all have a part of her.
I want to be
that part of your life.
But seeing as I can't,
I'm starting to wonder
Is it even worth it?
Are you worth it?
Are you worth all my time
and my tears?
As much as you
have a hold on my heart,
I'm starting to believe
that you really aren't
worth any of it.
My time, my tears,
or my heart.
