I Like You Human

I like it when you’re human
When your guard’s down you come out to play
And for those precious few moments
When you finally let yourself breathe

I can see you for who you are

I like seeing the tears in your eyes
Your hair messy when you wake in the morning
A blush for your every ignorance
I’ll use my kisses to trace your imperfections
So you can see who you really are 

Let fall the armor you wear
That burden you bear
I beg you to give me your heart
Beating, raw and vulnerable
And I will show you how to use it
What it’s like to live
Sorrow that only death can relieve
And happiness worth sticking around for

Forgotten

The memories I so cherish are slipping away
Leaving me with a creeping fear I can't allay
The fear of becoming just another distant memory
A flickering image of what I used to be
Trapped between your dusty photos and old tales.
Whatever thought you had of me pales
Threatening to creep into the closet of your mind
Into the corners of your brain's forgotten design
Before it shrivels and disappears.
