I can see something inside of you,
that I myself have lacked for far too long.
It leaves me breathless and speechless,
so, with too much to say I babble on.
My lips burn with fervor as I try to capture the words,
I don’t what to say- yet I continue to speak as if I do
The unspoken words lie useless on my tongue
Burning to be heard
Begging to be said out loud
I don’t know what I want
I know that I want everything
I am a walking contradiction
Can you see me struggling with myself?
Just another piece of the puzzle clicking into place.
Oh, the words I so desperately need to say, to hear
Are the ones that are so out of place
Aimless, and wandering, like a line out of my favorite song
Will I ever give up the fight, and let you see?
The darkness, and the brightness, struggling within me?
