I know it seems that my surface Is looking a little worn. You read my words freely here And assume I'm a bit torn. I'd censor it but you would know From the words I speak From the truth you know. It's just an imbalance of chemicals, love Now don't be worried about me anymore. It's release of things I've shared Talking alone won't leave me square. The even corners of my shape Twist and shift each time I contemplate With the joys I've lived to the marks I make. You know me well You've felt me shake. I don't really think your intentions are fake. Nor am I in disbelief that you can't relate. The thoughts I have The choices I make Are the reasons why I'm in this state. You've witness my smile becoming rage For no reason at all and that's why I wait. I know that you want to take care of me But let me take a crack at it first and see If the **** in my past can stay behind me. Let me be there for you If loving me is your job then let me in on it too. I know you lift, bro But it doesn't mean you have to lift me too. Let me love you the way I know. You're stronger than me And I'm adjusting to that. Being loved by you is intimidating as crap. It's getting to the point where I can't take it back. If I lose you too, I won't have jack. If you worry then I crack. Baby, please, put your mind at ease. You're the reason why I'm still ticking. Knowing you on the other side of things All you need is a day in advance just in time to catch me. You're not fading or diminishing in my memory. Because when I'm thinking of you It's certain you're thinking of me. We've both had words hidden secretly Found angrily by our families. You're free to read mine as you please. No secrets from you. No secrets from me. It's exactly the reason why I'm functioning. So love, put your mind at ease. They're only words pouring out of me.
