valentine

maybe true love is maturity
i wouldn't know
maybe life is like falling snow
maybe this world is something better
than everything i hope for

maybe i didn't know
maybe things just won't show
maybe you aren't disposed
to hate me
so

you are alive
i can only hide
my fate from yours
my death
your birth
this love
my worth

maybe i'm wrong about it all
maybe you're right
and i will fall
maybe we'll compromise and i
will stand beside you

maybe this isn't so bad
maybe this world is not mad
maybe i'll live up to
your
expectations and desires
maybe we'll both burn in the fire
maybe i've been wrong
all
along

maybe this is what we've sown
all the misery we've known
tragedies can't be outgrown
sadness and our broken home

maybe i could die alone
maybe you could prosper i could hope
even my evils breathe
your happiness from me

maybe i'm sentimental
maybe you're not judgmental
maybe this is just a game
no pain
no hurt
no emptiness
is felt here

i
love

my
love
