Relationships flourish when there is a connection,
And yet both sides are scared to show true affection.
To take a chance and put it all on the line,
And risk looking like you're asinine.
As the bond gets stronger, you begin to question,
The unknown soon becomes your obsession.
Black and white, defined lines in the sand,
Unsure of what to do, frozen where you stand.
Should you do this? What should you say?
To cross the line and turn the colors grey?
A leap of faith is all it seems to take,
It could end well or be another mistake.
The heart burns inside as you make a decision,
As both your fates seem to be heading for collision.
You either make it out alive or watch it unfold,
Unsure of what will be left to behold.
You fight with emotion, you fight with it all,
As you lose yourself in a bottle of alcohol.
The night is long, you say hello to every hour,
As you try to forget all that isn’t in your power.
Peace at last from the thoughts in your head.
Everything goes dark, silence, at least for a while,
But your phone; a text from her with a smile.
It gives you life, it gives you drive and yet also sadness,
As it sets you again on that deadly path to madness.
To find someone as innocent and pure,
So difficult to not succumb to the allure.
And yet you wait until the time is right,
But then she says she found someone the other night.
Crushed, hopes dashed, you never had a chance,
You try to stop yourself from going into a trance.
The struggle in your mind has finally ceased,
Your demons finally have been released.
The decisions been made, out of your control,
Fates have chosen for you, to them you extol.
As much as it pains you, you were blinded,
Made to believe something you minded.
Yes, you loved her, you have a history.
But now your feelings remain a mystery.
Thoughts of you holding her close, tightly embraced,
Sorrow sets in; realizing that you’ve been replaced...
