Don't you ever feel stuck?
Stuck in a state of mind, frozen in time
It's tiring, staying in one place for such a long time
Yet, you don't bother to move

It's confusing, honestly
Trying to think about it makes you dizzy
Yet, it's the only place you feel comfortable
Blissfully ignoring the problem
So you stay solemn

The feeling of uneasiness overwhelms you
But it's the only thing that makes you feel okay
Not okay,
But numb

Instead of making up your mind, you choose to stand aside
Too scared to make up your mind
You would rather stay blind to your own emotions
To avoid life's commotion

So you stay frozen
You watch as people pass you by
Because you would rather be numb
You would rather be stuck
Then trust your luck

They say the truth hurts, instead it left me confused
The hope of “us” shattering into pieces
Staring at your response, hoping for an explanation
Hope, the one thing I told myself not to have

All I could do was laugh
Tears threatened to fall, and all I did was laugh
How could I, for one second believe?
If only you made it easier for me
Imagining your face, how could I be mad at that face?
Hoping magically, you’d change your mind

Looking into the sky
Feeling empty inside
Thinking about the endless possibilities
You and I could’ve been “us”

Hope, something you can’t escape
No matter how many times you tell yourself not to hope
It finds a way to escape
You just end up getting hurt anyway

Eyes
The connection between two souls
A simple glimpse of a second
The way they look at each other
The world stops

Speaking without words
Falling a little deeper every second
A look into their life
What they are thinking

Eyes so dark, deep as the ocean
Passion flowing through them
The look of longing, will they ever realize?

A millisecond too long
Looking away
Strangers in a snap
Forgetting those eyes
Those perfect eyes

— The End —
