Your effervescent eyes striking
A bowling ball hitting pins
Staring into I know
Must end this before it begins

You think want to be absorbed
My life and my routine
Trust me
If aware of what that entails
Wouldn't be so keen

And brushed dust right off my skin
Helped me once more stand
Am grateful you let me lean on your frame
Supported with a steady hand

But knew somehow I'd do you wrong
For me you are too good
Always those who give the most
That do not get treated how they should

So memorized the details
Stored safely in my head
Differences between history
And the limbo I found in your bed

As I lost my way I learned
All love will bring certain pain
So it is safer for both of us
To just steer clear of the rain

Happiness only lasts for so long
Until it's abruptly cut short
I'd rather decide to go seperate ways now
Then wait til we have belongings to sort

As I drift further from you
One cowardly inch at a time
My attraction steadily decreases
Yours proportionately climbs

I miss experiencing fireworks
Butterflies
Flame lit in the dark
Those sensations vanished when love did
Yet I am still holding out for that spark
