Erosion

If I were a mystery 

And this was a clue

Maybe you could find me

Buried beneath everything you thought you knew

Denying it one more time

Eroding my very core

All it wastes is my prime

Maybe I don't want to waste it anymore

If I just keep holding on

If I continue to wait

Confined inside the lines you've drawn

Will your feelings abate?

Or am I just prolonging 

An inevitable storm

Striving for a sense of belonging

And love to keep me warm

If I remain a mystery

And all my explanations you refuse 

Just be careful I don't find me

Before you realize how much you've got to lose
