Always Away

whispered words

of grief

of regret

do I love you?

you make me question.

myself

my head

my heart

how can you?

change my mind

affect my life

carry my happiness

when I wont let you?

I twist from your grasp

from your heart

when u reach

I recede

when I reach

your gone

when I want you

you've left

when you talk to me

I can't respond

is it you or is it me

how can you do this when I wont let you?

I want to give my heart to you

will you reject it

I need to hand my trust to you

will you crush it

I can release my love to you

will you discard it

I don't know

I don't know you

do I

I think I do

the way you act

the way you smell

the way you mutter when she talks to you

I know facts

but do I know you heart

do I deserve to know you heart
