Don't fall from me,
Slipping out of my grasp.
I can't bare to lose you,
But it's happening already.
My smile's dry, so cracked and worn,
No tears fall down to soften the skin,
Confusion falls and settles down,
Too happy now, too fast.
Do not bestow upon me,
The false hopes of holding hands,
Of long embraces, walks alone,
Of promises to run away, together.
I trust your smile though,
I trust your eyes,
I trust everything about you,
Even if I shouldn't.
There's never been a doubt inside,
My mind, of if you aren't honest.
Never broken a word, it's always kept,
So this time I'll believe.
But falling back into arms so strong,
With my eyes sealed tight, not caring at all.
Will you drop me, will I fall?
Or will you hold me, just never let go.
It's not a fear, of being alone,
It's not another time,
To play this game, an endless dance,
It's something so much more.
An if it were just like chess to you,
I don't mind battling wits,
Because in the end, I know I'll win,
You just don't know yet, not at all.
A simple truth, lies between my lips,
Without words to be spoken.
Fingers entwined, a night alone,
Walk with me, an I'll tell all.
The secrets within me, you never knew,
How strong these feelings are,
But would you listen, would you care?
I think you would, because you're you.
You'd listen, but you're afraid.
Afraid to admit that someone like me,
You call perfect time to time,
Could like someone like you,
Someone so flawed; but to me? It's just the same.
A simple beauty, behind your eyes,
A sigh behind your lips,
Are we so confused, as to lose this chance?
I hope not, because it's now or never.
I placed the bet, without fear of loss,
Because I've nothing to lose,
Only gain, out of this little game,
A life time friend, or lover to me.
But I must wait, how ever long,
A day, a month, a year;
Till you realize, what's been offered before you,
A chance to be treated right.
To not be used, hurt, or lashed at;
By verbal or physical hands,
It's a chance to be happy, that's all I want.
But here we stand, still staring into each other's eyes.
Like a mirror, we look, unable to see through;
But soon enough, you'll say the words,
An I'll simply cry... or I'll simply... die.
