You.

When you fall in love. And it almost hurts. It keeps you in limbo between falling too far and not falling enough for fear that the past will repeat itself.

I'm not a child anymore

The heart is toughened by

Scars that evolve into fate

Between distance and time

Into the wreckage

You plant in my mind.

You keep me focussed,

On every word that

Escapes your lips

Until you leave me

Drenched in guilt

From the infidelity we live

I am selfish in this

Is it not my time now

To keep feeling this bliss

That you fill with me?

Without her name

or his, on our lips.

Time met you long before me

Held me back for you to be

Reckless in life, and love

To define the personality

That you would then hide

For me to discover.

I am not lost in the years

Before you met me,

For I grew up far too soon,

So don't take me for a fool

As I am not a fool

Except a fool in love with you.

Just tell me that I'm good enough

In more than just the sheets

The place where I am lead to believe

That you are in love with me

Just as much as I am with you

For I braced for the truth.

I am NOT what you seek

And like a lead balloon, I sink

For I was high on you

But then came the truth

Slithering off your tongue

With a bitter taste

Won't you give into me

And learn that I am more

Than what you think you need

It is not what the eyes see

Than what the heart feels

And you said you loved me.

But I am a fool to beg you

You got lost in my love

And forgot to find your own

So as I lose my mind,

Body and soul to you,

I know you wont do the same.
