I Know

I Know

I know in my head I'm over her

I've guarded my heart

I've barricaded the entrance

but

I also know, I'm in over my head

some days as I piece my heart

back from the shards it was left in

her very presence (that can melt the hearts of millions)

makes me look to her in awe

(like a moth drawn to flames

I, the lowly insect

her, the bright light)

and in that awe

my heart drops again from my hands

back to shards as it lands

because she's more powerful

than a guard

a barricade

than me
