The words trickle away,
Lost within this space,
scared, lost and alone,
when will we find our place?
The feelings so real to you,
eat away inside me too,
but how to express my feelings of truth
is an inner struggle, much like you.
So desperate inside,
to find that light,
and the answers i need,
to conquor the night.
the dark is what i feel,
when we are apart,
but together is no better,
for we suffer from tainted hearts.
Together but alone,
conflicts within my being,
I can't find the strength to lead you on,
so please understand my fleeing.
Love or not,
the truth is best served warm,
Your thoughts must stay on paper,
to avoid a rupturing storm.
Hurt as it may,
this insanity ends today,
Hope for our love,
has always been astray.
My heart is not mean,
unloving or unkind,
but my dear, im torn to say,
we've already surpassed our time.
As hard as it is
your heart is so much safer,
my love cannot hold you,
so please keep your words on the paper.
