Part of you

There’s part of you
So cold, so hard,
That I hope I can someday touch
So large, so scary

You call it hatred
Encasing something fragile
You call it despair
Hoping to lock it up

I say you’re wrong
I can feel it
I say you can feel
It’s beating faintly

We’re bound together now
It’s warm as it shakes off the cold
Our red strings are tied
Pulsing quietly in your chest.

If you were ever to discover
My hope, my dream, my wish,
My private thoughts,
I could never apologize enough

But I’m never sorry,
The warmth lets me keep fighting,
For loving you so senselessly
You’re special to me.
