I’m not asking for an excuse,
I’m not saying I feel abuse
But my mind and my soul
Lacking explanation, stay cold.
Surprises promised, love attached,
Care for me, explanations lack
You claim incapability,
You claim to not see me
Your explanations lack gravity
And truth is lacking as far as I can see
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE ME?
WHAT’S WRONG, WHAT’S LACKING FROM ME?
HAVE I DONE SOMETHING WRONG?
WHY CAN’T YOU SEE?
THIS ISN’T A JOKE
YOU’RE HURTING ME!
I regret yelling that,
But I know I can’t take it back
You tell me not to erase poetry,
But that isn’t me, that screaming banshee.
I should stop
Cease and desist
Overreaction
I just wish to be kissed
But I can’t stop overthinking
What do you mean?
Is there a reason you won’t meet my eyes?
Is there any possibility of lies?
I know the answer
Burning in me like a cancer
Killing my will
Trying harder still
Pining for your gaze,
You won’t meet my eyes
I try to count the ways
It’s possible that I’m despised
You laugh as you say it,
You won’t hold my only contact,
My heart still being crushed
Forced to be compact
Why is it funny?
What have I missed?
Why are you laughing?
What’s so funny about destroying my existence?
Not even a glance.
There wasn’t a chance
The lack of your eyes
Stabs like a lance
I don’t understand,
What’s the surprise?
What’s so important?
It matters more than my eyes?
My chest is burning
My throat in flames
Is there a reason?
An explanation for my pains?
An explanation would solve all
And save my heart, before it falls
I hear your name from my heart
As out for you it calls.
But I can’t cry
The tears refuse
But in your gaze
I wasn’t allowed refuge
Overthinking the whole thing
Of that I’m the king
You’d think by now my head would ring
With all the times, to you I cling
Overprotection is an excuse
Overreaction is the truth
The only real explanation
Is the shame that comes with my emancipation
Freedom leading to my demise
My words coming back, this time as cries
