The ivy and the thorns
  My heart breaking, dying
  Yet still glowing
  The ivy growing, searching
  Looks toward the light
  The ivy grows toward the small beacon, only to find my small, weak heart
  It grows around my heart pulling it back together
  The thorns thriving, looking
  Finds the hopeful glow
  The thorns reach for the hopeful light
  To find my heart wrapped in ivy
  It grabs my heart, decides to grow
  And tears at my heart
  The ivy and the thorns both surround my heart, but they are different
  The ivy is caring, loving and only wants to heal the wounds
  The thorns are cold, unforgiving
  And only want to rip at my heart and create pain
  But they are also the same,
  They both hold the heart, and take it as their home; they both unintentionally stitch and tear at my heart
  Together the ivy and the thorns are called both love
  A cruel life, but without them my heart would be in pieces.
