a little bit of my heart

shall i speak with words so soft?
shall i touch with such undying passion?
shall i love with all my hearts content?
shall i think and breathe and live love?

shall the blood that runs through my veins scorch my soul?
shall my soul burn from my weakness and fear?
shall tears fall and fall again?
shall i love or shall i pretend?

is life all its made up to be?
is love for a person like me?
am i honest or do i lie?
shall i live or shall i die?

will each kiss warm this sadness that haunts me?
or will the loneliness taunt me?
shall i stagger upon each word
or speak my soul, my heart, my love?

embrace me as my heart has embraced you
hold me tight when the darkness comes
make me believe my love is real
make me feel
