change me
mold me
perfect me

happy
smiling
perfect me

are you perfecting me
or am i perfect already

make up your mind
its weird how the words surrounding another word can change how you read it
your thoughts
but not your desires
your words
but not your mouth

your presence
but not your body
please understand
that i am over that now

you can be
comfortable
i won't try to trick you
or mess around

you mean so much to me
that i let it go
i don't want you romantically
i feel no doubt

i used to crave you
but now i am
suffering with this wall
and doing without

you
so please forgive me
i finally apologized
out loud

never meant
to ruin the friendship
but all i did
was drag us down
this is about being trying to be friends after they don't love you back, but they are afraid to let you close again
sweet like sugar
passing like time
you drift along
not knowing you're mine
i could move a mountain
i could part the ocean
i could touch the sky
but i can't handle my emotions

i drown in loneliness
i run into problems head first
i fly away when i get scared
and somehow that makes it worse

because i can be magical
i can be a presence
but when you look at me
my resolve lessens

i forget what i am doing
i'll just hide myself in the shadows
praying you don't see me
camouflaged with bravado

i'm a natural
it just flows when i let it be
but i become an actress
when your in the vicinity
this is about being self-conscious around people who aren't your friends, but you have to be around them
i would get anxious
but at this point it wouldn't be worth the price
my body is tired
and my mind is balancing
on the edge of a knife

i would get worried
and overwhelm myself with the details
but i know that won't change anything
so i'll just take a deep breath
and exhale

i really am drained
but there's this nagging persistence
to freak out and be manic
and focus on the little things
but i'm too tired to go along with it

i just don't care
life is just a word
my feelings
have melted
so i can be unhurt
