How can you be everything
I despise and fear
Love and covet
All rolled into one?

How is it that you manage
To break my heart
And heal it again
In a single breath?

--

I feel that I am faltering
Under the load of my heart
Under the strain of waiting
For the right answer.

I feel like I am dying
To know what you are thinking
To feel your heart pound for me
Under your skin.

--

My heart skips a beat
When you speak my name
I wait for what I want to hear
Yet it does not come.

My heart is left alone
To sing away it’s sorrows
And wonder why I allow myself
To get so involved.

--

This is not some fairytale
I realise that now
As I cry my selfish tears
And turn my head in shame.

This is not some lost cause
I can’t deny there’s something
Present between us
But the question is, can you?

A/N: This was written way too quickly, a spur of the moment thing, and I haven’t edited it so sorry T.T
