My Heart

Not so long ago
We both felt love become a word
No more than that
With sex that felt like wings without a bird
The only thing that we both love
Is in the cradle that we rock
Six hands, six feet, but just one beat
The ticking of the clock

I always heard I could get hurt
(I knew that from the start)
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck, but please don't break my heart

Solid wood will rot if you don't keep it from the rain
We were surprised when we found out
That love feels just like pain
