Darling, Pin A Medal On My Chest Poem by Mark Heathcote

I am not thinking about all the disasters.
And the hatred of this world.
Instead, I've decided to open up my heart
And my eye's to the beauty of infinity,
To dive into the flowers and stars,
Oh, I've opened up my chest, my arms.
Oh, I've got scars I can't bear,
But darling, I can't resist you.
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
Darling, I've got enough courage for two.
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
A token badge of honour, services to you
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
Achievements can be so tough to achieve.
But darling I'm not giving up on you.
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
Darling, I've got enough courage for two.

Today, I'm no longer thinking about all the disasters.
And the ugliness of this world
Instead, I've decided to open up my heart-
And my eye's to the beauty of infinity,
To dive into the flowers and stars,
Oh, I've opened up my chest, my arms.
Oh, I've got scars I can't bear,
But darling, I can't resist you.
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
I've got too much to lose if I fail to engage you in a kiss.
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
I'm just about to give up on you.
But I'm just too afraid to enter this abyss.
Darling, pin a medal on my chest.
I'm about to give up on you, but I guess
That's when the chandeliers shook and the full moon shone
And I forgot to clutch my crucifix and vex
And remembered how it's me who knows and loves you best.
