The break

The Break

 

It’s almost a shame

What we do in love’s name.

To ignite passion’s flame

We deprive one another of the same.

 

I must stay strong,

Though I could be wrong.

Too proud to give in,

Too scared to sin.

 

So many things I’d like to share.

So many things I’d like to ask.

Oh the burden we must bear

To complete this unforgiving task.

 

I will be good and withstand,

I shouldn’t have to need you.

I will have my feelings banned,

But what if I they stayed taboo?

 

We build a temporary wall

And hope it will not crumble.

Still if it’s ready to fall.

Won’t the rubble make us tumble?

 

Other men will see your worth.

I’m not the only one on this earth.

Won’t you prefer a better man?

One that makes you happier than I can?

 

I’m the heir of doubt,

Looking for a way out.

I stay on the lookout

For hope, I can’t do without.
