frozen — I held my breath
right from the start, I knew
(that) I found a home
for my heart
— (it) beats fast,
(with) colours and promises
how to be brave?
how can I love — when I'm afraid to fall?
but (while) watching you stand alone,
all of my doubt
suddenly goes away
somehow
I always liked this verse from A Thousand Years. It struck me as poetic, so I gave it a go. I love the way the spaces fit between the lyrics with each breath she takes — the gaps, the time to think, the time to take in how you feel. I never understood how someone could do that. I love how the lines flow effortlessly, word after word, how the sentences string together in perfect phrases. I always wrote with sentences that ran on and on, and on and on. To those of you who read my posts: it must be hard on you and I apologise for that.
