Someone, Anyone, Everyone

I feel like I'm wasting away my life yearning for love

Discontent with normalcy

I want to soar atop the waves of desire

Feel my heart pound at the possibilities

And have my veins course with thoughts of someone else

 

No matter where I end up

I'd rather thrill through the valleys of my heart

Than live my life in temerity

Afraid of anyone else

 

At least, that's what I tell myself

It's a shame my actions shout another story

Trapped in the past

Not knowing how to let go

Hoping for another chance

I'm closing off everyone else

 

And so I'm left yearning, hurting, and wondering

How I came to waste my heart away
