Should I hide complex emotions from you?
Pull out my heart to bleed on the floor
Promise me you'll keep it safe
Even if lacking qualities you are searching for
Feeling faint
I count imperfections
Sincerity leading my voice
One by one petals plucked proving patience
Each dripping with the stubbornness of my choice
With darkest intentions harbored
The silence sins subtly cast
Trust no words besides memories
Carry lessons from the past
I will not reach out for your hand
Close to an honest profession
Bite my lip in anticipation
Peeling off skins
Battling confessions
The planet quiet for a brief instant
Coming apart under gaze
Breathing in moisture from feelings shared
Love set on fire
Cloudy haze
In clutches of uncontrollable desire
Caught by attraction attempting to hide
Life ripping apart with ease
World determined to wholly divide
I must be foolishly enchanted
Have to break the spell
Breathing is raspy and ragged
Can feel my windpipe swell
It's up to you to save my soul
Chosen to make the call
Hate how you let me suffocate
You loathe my newly built wall
I'm afraid to show I am vulnerable
I put on a frigid act
Although needing you close to me
Never let you know that fact
