Over Before We Began

A word from you can change my day
From resisting to let out the sobs of tears
To a slight smile dancing across my lips

No it's not perfect and theres still pain
But somehow you have managed to help me stay sane

I love the little things you do without notice
How can you not see
You know you truly know me

Every unspoken word
When my vision becomes blurred

When this all seems absurd

You're there holding my hand
Right there helping me stand

My most prominent fear
That if you find out my feelings dear

We would be over before we began

Still Beating

Broken and shattered
My heart surely is tattered
The stabs and jabs
Darts continually thrown
They have stripped me down to the bone
It should be defective
But it still beats
Well thats subjective
Maybe it is ineffective
But I'm still alive
After each and every jiving effort to break me
I'm proud of its lasting rhythm
It didn't give in when the world made it it's victim
