You are too young for it all
Too young for this much pain
Too young for this much heartbreak
Too young to be chasing halos

The last time we spoke, you hugged me tight
And I felt it then, that hope still in you
That possibility, the light that hadn't gone out
You hugged me tight and I knew
There is still more for you to do

And so I'm begging you to open up your eyes,
Open them and keep them wide

You aren't tired so there's no need for you to sleep
It isn't time to throw in your towel
It isn't time for you to go
It isn't time for you to be chasing halos

When you were smaller I held you in my arms
So sweet, so small, so innocent
You would always smile like you looked up to me
And I knew I had to be good so that you would too
There is still time for you to be anything you dream

So I'm begging you, don't trade your youth for wings

a sweet herb, basil

Why is love so hard
I long for your touch I long for your kiss.  I know you will give them to me but yet I long for them as I miss our kiss I miss your touch my heart screams for a kiss my soul longs for your touch I love you

The tears in my eye
Are the tears from joy or sadness
The tears are the same
I have tears from the pain in my heart  as I scream I am in pain my soul cries I am in pain the tears flowing from my face are the same
Let it be ambiguous
Let it be dark

I have been mad, addicted
With conjuring your presence
I'm hopelessly afflicted
With longing for your essence
But I do not seek your attention
For you are but my mind's creation
