St Clementi

Love was learned in quiet rooms

Grades and goals, they took my youth

Every win felt hollow, every fall felt proof

That I was chasing all the wrong truths

So I built my life on lines and marks

Lost the spark inside the dark

But you came through the cracks

And lit the map I’d torn apart

When I’m scared of what I feel

You remind me love is real

No more hiding behind plans

You’re the truth my heart understands

So I’ll open my heart

Like a door left wide

Let the rain and the sun collide

For too long I’ve been un-opened

Now the light gets in

And if I break, then break again

At least I’m living
