I have told many a passerby
I have shouted it from the rooftop
I swore to myself today would be the day
That I act a man
Only to have my voice become weak
My mouth become dumb
Unable to speak
Mesmerized by your sight.
Terrifed by your sight.

Love is not a feeling.
But a drug.
With each thought pulling me deeper and deeper
into this addiction.
Until my mind is consumed by you.
Flooded with ecstasy
Yet lost from the thought of not having you

I say I will tell you
What lies in my heart.
But I know the truth is that tonight
Like all the nights before
Will be spent in solitude
Alone with you in my mind
With only myself to blame.
And
The only ones who will hear of my love
Once again
Are strangers in the night.
