Convicted

This situation seems quite dense But don't make half the sense But it happened two times in cadence I'll try to shorten it so I won't trespass on your patience So here's the deal It's becoming hard to express how I feel On the real An unread love letter that remains unsealed As cliche as "looks can kill" You heard it before so you know its real Anyway, this is how it goes The unbearable love that nobody knows It numbs the pain of your heart piercing the soul With a high on poetic flow So sick your eyes stay low You'll be on straight lean mode You know My thoughts are paced Til faith illuminates The pain it takes To repair a heart that's easy to break Here to keep Through ideas incomplete His kisses bleed To a place too deep Even love couldn't reach Where fear consumed me entirely Fear of what? Well, fear of you And what your body can do And I can't shake the feeling that you think so too And I realize love is a choice that affects time And to give in to it is matter over mind Such seductive memories left behind Guilty and convicted by a 3-word line Now it's my time As I mortify this rhyme To pass up something so kind Or maybe sublime Cuz his time's out of love and my love's out of time
