My heart is young, naive,
And understands little.
It can only watch, silent,
And try to percieve the love
That rolls off others,
And hope it will someday be filled by it.
How could I know the depth of the world?
Your friendly words were warped,
Shaped into melodies within my heart,
And the yearning that grew in it
Broke past all the chains I'd put there.
How can I know the depths of this world?
You want friendship, my heart desires love,
And only longing for you does not fill it.
I do not blame you for finding another,
And the scar in my heart is not deep.
How can I know the depths of the world?
Now I cage my heart a little tighter,
Depriving it of freedom while I gain your friendship.
It cannot help but wonder when you will leave her,
As it still longs you to breathe my name upon my skin.
But I tell it to stay quiet.
I will learn from you how to love,
And when my heart is again ready, and your Other is gone,
I shall set it free.
For how could I know the depths of the world?
Thank you for leading me on.
