I am so afraid to tell you
What is inside.
There is a box within my chest
Locked and hidden
Where only death resides.Can I run now,
Faster than you can fathom?
Can I erase my mind
And the feelings
That brought you with them?Created by disaster is what we are,
And broken with desires is what has come.
I long to understand the truth
That you have concealed beneath,
And I wish to expose myself to someone.But in all honesty I am crippled,
Destroyed at my core.
I am not ever convinced of one's truth
And I am cringing at the feelings
Within my heart that are pure."Why do we deal with such things
If we are not ready?"
The answer is something
We must discover for ourselves
In order to remain forever steady.It's a torturous feeling
Not knowing the truth within your eyes.
But patience is key when in fear and doubt.
I am trying to pull away for the moment—
Oh my dear, how time flies.
