What are you getting with someone like me?
Not sure if we're meant to be
You call me idiot and I suppose you're right
If I died today would you still choose to fight?
Do you want me or just a hand to hold?
Sometimes you look at me with eyes so cold
The clock ticks loud it's all I can hear
Arms not wide open as they appear
The night chasing me
On my heels
Wrapped in silence company steals
Regret hangs heavy from battered hands
Dreams ripped
Thousands of strands
Reach for stars but only grab empty space
Lie awake motionless while my spinning thoughts race
Lost shadows swallowing me in one bite
Waiting for dawn's arrival with promise of light
To break memories free from behind bars where they bounce
Stillness remedy eagerly gulped by the ounce
A raging sea of intensity quakes back and forth inside
A storm I can't control though heaven knows I've tried
Floating a current unable to change direction
Singing audibly proof of affection
It's a fascination as to why you bother to stay
Trying to right my wrongs before you decide to walk away
