I can spin,
And I can prance,
And I can watch
The end of this dance.
I can laugh,
And I can cry,
But you'll never hear
Of the reason why.
For you'll never know
What I've seen.
And you'll never go
To the places I've been.
I cannot sing,
But I can act.
And it's a liars' game,
But I'm up to bat.
It's refreshing
To finally be honest,
And it's good that you know
I'm trying my best.
I'm used to hiding,
I'm used to lying.
Saying things of a nature so abiding.
But I was so sick of faking feelings,
Of hiding out of fear,
And suddenly the lights dim,
And the curtains close,
And I turn to see
All I've ever wanted to be.
Back to before,
I knew how to pretend,
Back to before
The beginning of my end.
I fell in love with you,
The way a play comes together.
In slow parts and disjointed bits,
And then finally
All at once,
It goes on
Seamlessly
It seems to the audience.
I fell in love with you
The way rain
Breaks the sky
And falls to thirsty ground.
Slowly, inching darkness bit by bit across the sky,
And then suddenly, the sky cracks open with a burst of light
And a clap of thunder,
And it pours and rains
And life is new again.
I fell in love with you
The way people make other people honest.
The way you touch me and I have to tell you the truth,
The way the fire burns in your eyes also burns my skin a scarlet shade,
The way I can't keep a thing from you.
I fell in love with you
Years ago,
And here I am again.
Thoughts.
