WHY
Why is it easier to love in secret
But so hard to hold your heart from beating
Why am i being strung along
And why do i accept
Why does the moon extract ones feelings
And why does it have to be you
Who plays the string of my being
For a second nothing matters
You can just get up and leave
But the rest is splattered with the sense of reality one feels
But for a split second you can do it all
Send that text
Spit out the lump in your throat
Do what you thought you couldn't
Undress and be vulnerable
Take that leap and hope you'll stay afloat
But what if i fail?
What if i don't succeed?
And thats the limit of your freedom
That's when reality bleeds
And your spiritual liberty is deceaced
