Sitting here contemplating
So much it's aggravating
Where's my love? I'm tired of waiting
Too many paths, I start debating
Choices are laying before me
Stretching further than eyes see
How ever far I can't even hitchhike
It all feels wrong it seems like
Whichever you choose
You'll most likely lose
Don't mind him, jump, try to fly
You'll sore or be sore, can't hurt to try
Well I guess I can't be picky
Things may be tricky
If I never step, I'll never know
Letting myself take a chance and go
This one here has the least invested
Start from scratch, nothing tested
The waters couldn't be clearer
Issue being how do I get near her
Not a problem physically
More so just emotionally
How do you approach love to a stranger
That may end up as emotional danger
Well that one may not be right
You're going in without sight
What's life without taking a risk
Search her soul, why hesitate, stop and frisk
Maybe you're right, I still don't know
All of my fears, I should let them go
So I'll take yet another chance
Trying to find my true romance
This next path that I've chose
Has all the qualities of rose
Beauty in every single petal
With razor sharp thorns of metal
Though further in I've given more time
To not continue would be a crime
Yet also a crime to keep my cover
Secrets love as she belongs to another
Never letting everything slip away
Regardless, in my heart she will stay
The longer I stay the more I invite pain
With bad karma beating me with it's cane
You set yourself up for heartbreak
Well done, your heart is part steak
It's not it wasn't only you doing wrong
It was a duet, not a solo song
At this point why even try
What hope is there in the sky?
No limits? No chance in hell
Happily ever after becoming hard to tell
My last route bares the most potential
Growth of possibilities is exponential
A love that adds to itself by the hour
Taking your to degrees to the infinite power
Until now I would never haven't given thought
This insane idea, I have truly fought
Never been down this road before
To a point it shakes me to my core
Can be both close and out of reach
Sensitive territory I could breach
Nerves keep my feelings in a cage
The distance between us is age
It's only a number when everyone is old
Not when they're potential stories untold
I may not be the thing for her
Maybe not for me either but I wonder
I barely have any words for this
That could be a complete shot and miss
I mean if both parties are able and willing
Why not got with how you're feeling
Then the voices choose to disappear
Left with just me, alone here
Life hits me hard, in perfect stance
That true love thing, I never had a chance
Without any paths, what is there to do
Maybe move in with the lady in the shoe
Nurse my rhymes, everything is fairy tale
Wiping my cold tears, hit the ground like hail
What is love!?, it only hurt me
How many fish are truly in the sea
If none of them are the one
Everything you work for is undone
I sit and run possibilities in my head
Slowly killing me, how am I not dead
Dreams and fantasies stuck on replay
Hating myself, I begin to whither away
Slowly being still and stagnant
My heart is a fragment
Angry with myself, hand in a fist
Torturing my soul over things that'll never exist

I don't feel itI don't feel it I like or love you, it's true I think it or I say, pretty much everyday My mind, yes but missing a part, my heart Is this real, if so, where is, how I feel I care, missing you when you're not there Is it your presence, simply the essence Sharing the same air, when you're there When not around, it's still ground Seeds in the field, yet nothing will yield Ripples in a pond end, no matter how far they extend This “love†is how deep, unknowing makes me weep Is there an answer to find, it's just all in my mind Running around to say, I just don't feel a way A way I should, not doing so, not so good Like it's there but not at all, I'm chasing a waterfall Doubt will reign, I need rain, only real with pain Isn't it suppose to tear me apart, melt my heart Where's the agony, the hard hits with no apology It's not this easy right?, Should be a burning light Bruises and scars you get, yet I don't feel it  |

SnowPart of me is tired of the heat year round Dreaming of the first time i saw snow hit the ground All my life I've dealt with warm weather Maybe a change of climate would be better It could be more enjoyable than the norm Happiness has more than one form Being in the same spot has gotten old The hot days are overrated. Time for some cold I wouldn't mind much cooler weather For each of the week i believe i have a sweater Sand is nice but i want to play in the snow If i wear the right things I'll be warm wherever i go Should i just uproot my life and change from what i know Just to spend it with cold weather and snow Or do i just want a break from the mundane To just be spontaneous and a little insane. My body is use to being warm so would i even survive Who knows it could make me feel more alive Finding the peace of mind I've longer for Healing my life long sore Snow angels and snowball fights Snowmen and chilly nights An actual winter season. Do i need... |
Elephant ShoeElephant shoe At this point there's too much I feel Every action louder than every word Leagues, fathoms, no deeper than this Just to fall back in love, unconditionally forced So I can be whatever it is you need me to be |

Nothing ElseNothing else All day and all night My light in the dark. Deep runs the eventual scar A soft glow is enough If you missed it I'm not going back Black don't crack and diamonds are forever |
Simple ThingsSimple Things Before serious "i love you"s and "i do" Before the finer things between us two I just want us to have some time to share While waiting on the love train we can gather the fare Putting together the exact change The things we could do have an unlimited range So much im common as if set up by fate We could have the most interesting date Nerd out in a comic book store Argue who would win against Thor Or who's the absolute best hero The level of boredom either way is zero Maybe have a movie night Theater or home, it's alright Sitting close, you rest your head on my chest Afterwards, debate which scene was the best I could cook for you or you can for me Or order pizza if we disagree Marathon one of our favorite shows This list just goes and goes A walk and or a picnic in the park Lay under the stars when it gets dark After we watch the sunset Finding the constellations, naming each set Maybe have a sleep over at the house No sex, just ... |
Why WaitWhy Wait This may end up being more of a rant So to all of that I have to say no Feelings linger on the past and I completely understand It doesn't have to be a full blown business deal Skyscrapers started of as a mere blueprint |
A DreamI have a very instense dream last night For the most part it felt like I had no control In an instant I felt everything All i could do was search for you The awoke from my dream so I assume I died |
Not ReadyNot ready? For a relationship you said you're not ready Neither am I so we'll keep it slow and steady Though I can no longer shade how I feel To contain this, there's no strong enough seal Have you ever tried covering the sun? Just simple can't be done So I'll continue to burn for you Until you're ready to make our 1s a 2 Been in love but this is way more Much deeper than waters I sank in before On an entirely different level of love To me you are the sexiest dove If this was a game, can't wait for the co-op Form a creed of our own to make hearts stop Gaining experience and leveling up together Always extra DLC so we'll play forever Or we could live our favorite manga or anime Adventures that may not always go our way Even still we'll overcome and tall we'll stand Cause unified our power level is over 9000 This is my promise you that I'll hold I'll be your warmth when you're cold We don't, at least not now, have to open heaven's gate Not ready?
