Eruption after eruption of feeling
Can I keep up?

I feel lost, alone, helpless without you.
My heart feels empty.
The angels have ripped it out of my chest
Yet delicately sown me back and gave my heart to you.
Whenever you think of me, I still feel it long for you.

I feel happy, amazing, better with you.
My head finally becomes clear.
The world becomes a brighter and safer place
And you keep it like this for me in a secret box.
Whenever we depart, you lock it for me.

I feel calm, open, relaxed in my own little world.
My soul can drift in peace.
I can do anything I want here and laugh and have fun
Not let a bad thing get me down or ruin my free time.
Whenever I feel lost, this is where I go.

I feel upset, frightened, tearful in the dark.
I don't have you near me to protect me in your arms
Sometimes I wonder if what I hear is real.
Whenever I think of you though, all of that ends.

You are the thing that keeps me safe.
My feelings become simple with you around me
We talk about our troubles, try and help one another.
Whenever we do this, I let my guard down.

With you the world freezes in time.
I can enjoy the moment, make it last forever.
I will paint a picture in the back of my mind.
Whenever the world freezes, we are happy.

You help me with my jumbled feelings.
If I am ever confused I trust you to help.
You collect those feelings and put them in a bag.
Whenever you help me, this bag is ready.

I feel happy.
I feel angry.
I feel confused.
I feel amazing.
I feel excited.
I feel tearful.
I feel nervous.
I feel carefree.
I feel furious.



You help me feel nothing.
