I found your heart

I was treading through high waters when I found your heart
I had held my nose and dove deep down to the warm center of your cold heart
Who would have known that it could somehow be warm somewhere in there
I held my breath for so long I thought my chest would collapse and my head would pop
A few times I lost strength and blacked out
I had almost given up on you
The storm had fought me so hard
But this is the calm, the best part
How it feels and is so good
To show you that I worked hard for this
After so much pain
I found your heart

My own

And I am just a girl who just entered college standing in a subway station waiting for the A train to take me to my destination
I’ve cried here in this station
I’ve laughed
I’ve been broken hearted
And I’ve been in love
Here in this station
I experienced embarassment and have given into selfish needs
I decided that I’d never have a first kiss here
But I’d look at you with innocent eyes and proclaim that seeing you again was only a maybe in my book
I’ve screamed here
And I’ve looked at you with hate
I’ve held hands here and shared hugs
I’ve wondered why I stood here with a handful of boys who had yet to grow up
And how I stood here with one man
Too sweet to ever see me again
And I am just a girl who just entered college standing in a subway station waiting for the A train to take me to my destination
With a book in hand
You see me coming your way, I don’t blend in
And if I have a look of contemplation on my face,
I’m probably wondering why it is I stood here with so many
A 18 year old girl with 18 years of anticipation of standing right here
Waiting to go home, alone
Happiest,
My hand holding my own hand
