Dec 2014
Though the sun shines brightly in spite of the storm
This sorrow devours me, insisting to stay
Both teasing and taunting in stammer-less form
‘Til the hope that I hold to so fiercely doth sway
For, just when I thought I had finally found
The love I have dreamed of, and haven’t yet seen
My fortune denies me a love so profound
‘Til there’s nothing but silence, as love flees from me
I wonder, again, just how it can be so
How can such words be spoken if not from the heart?
If you meant what you said, why so suddenly go?
If your heart isn't in it, were they true from the start?
I've meant every word I have spoken to you
Now, I’m the only one speaking at all
If your love wasn't real, or you’re not sure it’s true
Tell me, why would you show it while watching me fall?
Or, to challenge my waiting as if I were a fool
Just to fool me when I couldn't wait anymore?
Have I been but a game, and your words but the tool
To hurt someone so you would not hurt anymore?
Whatever the weather, the storm never shines
When whenever comes never, through all the tears cried
Love seems tethered to severing all of its ties
In my search for love’s truth…only finding disguise
Have I searched for true love for so long, but in vain?
Am I not worth your time, but only this pain?
Do I mean nothing to you?
Why do you refrain?
Is it truth or denial, what silence remains?
You dared challenge me when I said I was waiting
So now, in your silence, I dare challenge you
Tell me, even in friendship, why are you forsaking
A love we can share that can be pure and true?
Is it you, or is it me that you are most scared of?
Sometimes, our heaven lies just beyond hell
Have we both not already suffered enough?
Am I not worth your effort, or even farewell?
Tell me, who’s in denial?
Is it you, or is it me?
Is your silence because my words have been wasted?
Or, are you but wasting our time foolishly
Afraid of a love we both scarcely have tasted?
Love can be dreamed
Love can be felt
But love’s only truest when it can be shared
My feelings are true
What do I mean to you?
Whether friendship or more…tell me, will you not dare?
Will you not break this silence?
Will you not take a chance?
Has your heart been so broken that you’d so break mine?
Our friendship does not have to lead to romance
And we both deserve more than for you not to try
For, whatever the weather, the sun can still shine
If you’ll choose more than never, despite the tears cried
We are both worth much more than you severing ties
Without saying a word, or even good bye
Are my words and my actions to you but in vain?
Is our friendship not worth more to you than refrain?
Is it you, or is it me?
Why do you abstain?
Is it truth or denial, what silence remains?
This sorrow devours me, insisting to stay
Both teasing and taunting in stammer-less form
‘Til the hope that I hold to so fiercely doth sway
For, just when I thought I had finally found
