Powerless

My cheeks flush,

But I'm afraid.

My heart flutters,

But I'm afraid.

My mouth twitches,

But I'm afraid.

I should tell him how I feel,

But I'm afraid.


Only in dreams

We walk side by side,

Your hand gently slips into mine,

The moonlight guides back to our home,

I forgot my key,

Luckily, you have yours,

You fumble in the darkness,

Why did we put the lamp so far from the door?

I gaze into your eyes as light fills the room,

You pull me into a warm embrace,

All my worries melt away.


Dispute

Would it be okay if I stayed here?

My alarm is merciless,

I fall out of bed,

Is there really any harm in missing a day?

I walk to the bathroom,

I place my bow in my hair,

Aren't I late already anyway?

I eat breakfast,

I head to the front door,

Is it too late to turn around?

He is waiting by the sidewalk,

I put on a smile,

Will he notice what's behind it?


Without me

You would be better off for sure,

No more weight to hold you back,

You could finally focus on you,

Instead of worrying for me,

You have others now,

So there is no better time to leave,

You'll be happy you'll see,

In a world without me.


Submit

I don't want to leave him,

She says it's for the best,

Once I'm out of the way,

He can truly be free,

"You're holding him back."

"You're too needy."

"He should focus on himself."

"He would be better off if you'd just disappear."

I'm angry at her.

I believe her.
