I'm afraid my goals don't align with yours; yet feel our souls click so perfectly. I've resolved myself to observing the world and watching you with the girls I imagine how great we could be. But I'm locked into place. Another cog in this death making machine. I think I'm losing my face; I'm definitely losing my steam. I fear I set course for another heartache, but don't for a second think I'm calling you a mistake. The faults are my own.. I'm just trying to build a place to call home. I know further engagement would be irresponsible, but when you talk with that silk woven voice I find redirection impossible. When we meet and embrace it's hard to stop the fall, but I can't find the brakes and the engine won't stall. I fear I'll only take up space in your cluttered apartment. Just a bulky suitcase, a leftover fragment. You've so much at stake and I've nothing to lose. I'd hate to see that pretty face wear me like a noose.
