No Longer Mine

Falling through this life was all I knew
I just kept going through the motions
Meeting new people but nothing ever took
But somehow you changed that with just one look
Instead of drifting through space
I fell past the iris of your eyes
You breathed something into my being
Showed me something that was worth seeing
You unwrapped me carefully
All the while drenching me with your love
You took the time to let me see
All you ever really wanted was the real me
Breathing was more intoxicating with you near
The time between us just a catalyst
My body aches to be with you everyday
I never knew I could feel this way
I am overwhelmed by your presence
With you is where I belong
I fall in love with you more all the time
Oh but wait . . . you are no longer mine

You Would Not Exist

If I could peel back the fake and try to find you underneath
I wonder how small the you I found would be
Perhaps a small rock I could hold in my hand
Or maybe even smaller, a single grain of sand
Would you be the size of your cold heart
Would I be able to tear you apart
Could you recognize the significance
Of being solid truth if only for an instant
I wish I had a glimpse of how you'd look
Perhaps then, I would not have mistook
All the lies as a form of truth
All your words wouldn't have been so smooth
Would that be enough to change my mind
Could I make up for all the lost time
Would you be big enough to get to me
Or simply too small for me to see
