Twice
I broke my rules for you
As the sky had broken with my rain
Twice did the swinging bells ring
Twice did the wind chimes sway
Twice were chances given for you to hit true
But alas, both arrows missed the target
Because both were aimed for my heart
And silent, bleeding, did I take the bow
I broke my beliefs for you
As each line was rewritten in red ink
Burning paper drifted into ashes
aflame as the memories started to leave
Twice did the sky thunder into sparks
Twice did the match fade back into smoke
Twice were the love chained and retained
But alas, a heart is wild and will escape its cage
And twice, did it return beaten and bruised
So silent, bleeding, did I take the bow
