My Heart's Debacle

How do I express the way that I feel about you
without making a fool of the mess that is me
and bypass the fear that resignates in my heart
for these butterflies kill my chance at true love

Sometimes I get the courage to speak for my heart
but that all melts away when I look in your eyes
and remember the times that your embrace healed my soul
helping me forget the past long since dead

But when I see you with her, deep inside I cry
for in the recesses of my mind it's me where she is
the one recieving your affections and cuddling in your arms
but that will never happen 'cause it's her that makes you tick

And one thing I wouldn't want is to see you in tears
so instead I'll stand by and just be your friend
waiting for the time until you realize I'm there
your trusty broomstick, ready to sweep up the pieces
the ones shattered off straight from your heart

But until that day I'll be your guardian angel
and instead of my selfishness I'll be selfless indeed
pushing aside the stewing dreams in my heart
because I'll always need you,even just as a friend
for you helped me discover that I deserve love
