returning from another to where you are

from the hearts' hold I see you falling like a star

delicately descending into a den my hands have made

here, you secure a sense of solace til it fades

and to show my faith in fate, girl I'll wait until you wake

my lady draped in gray

for you, I'm pushin polarities through the pain

denying all disdain

less afraid to see the distance that was gauged across the plane

it felt strange cuz metaphysics made a mess of how my brain

coexists within a sane mind

I feel the tugs of love and loss at the same time

I'm not your man to have a hand to ever really explain why

nor am I politician but still catch myself playin sides

the sip of truth in that was like some strange wine

some fickle proof that trickled through and blemished what defamed my

core character and cracked the cast

a heart to have held doesn't make a whole of halves

and though it aches my back, I'll stay and wait until you ask

harborin this love to never wake you from your nap

I don't fold knowing love will take this path

reflections at the intersection left me bleeding in the back

rooted in some expectations that I never grasp

it's not fair but for air I still gasp..

it's not fair but for a pair I still grasp...

all because I care and wear a mask
