I used to believe with what everyone says
Always the follower; I don't want them dismay
For so long, I wanted them please
I wanted them to love me beyond lips
A love that puts me in a secure embrace
Not the kind of lace I wear on my neck
While I drown in deep waters
I don't expect you to stay in bay
I want you to come and get me
But I always end up saving myself
I hear you love, but I'm too numb to feel it
Or maybe, I grew out realizing
I may have grown up with love
It's just today,
WORDS ARE NO LONGER ENOUGH.
