The grip of the sky
The softness of land
Fingers crossed behind their back
They offer me their hand
Is it worse to leave too soon
Or stay too late?
To trust too willingly
Or the chance decimate?
I talk to myself
Because I know I'm listening
And I keep to myself
Because their judgments are christening
Blame it on my
Lack of direction
Blame it on our
Fear of rejection
How can you know what love is?
Just another word they created
And I used to be so sure
But my mind's rotated
I prefer pens over pencils
Because their truths can't be erased
And I love your kiss
But I hate the aftertaste
They say the same thing
In a thousand different ways
While we smile
Through the malaise
I miss who I used to be
And am apprehensive as to who I will become
In the end
Will the pieces be bigger than the sum?
New words, old thoughts
Gibberish I write
It all ends the same
Running to our plight
The softness of land
Fingers crossed behind their back
They offer me their hand
Is it worse to leave too soon
Or stay too late?
To trust too willingly
Or the chance decimate?
I talk to myself
Because I know I'm listening
And I keep to myself
Because their judgments are christening
Blame it on my
Lack of direction
Blame it on our
Fear of rejection
How can you know what love is?
Just another word they created
And I used to be so sure
But my mind's rotated
I prefer pens over pencils
Because their truths can't be erased
And I love your kiss
But I hate the aftertaste
They say the same thing
In a thousand different ways
While we smile
Through the malaise
I miss who I used to be
And am apprehensive as to who I will become
In the end
Will the pieces be bigger than the sum?
New words, old thoughts
Gibberish I write
It all ends the same
Running to our plight
