What You Do

The clock on the wall ticks away the time, But still I sit here trying to find the perfect rhyme. The words I want just won’t seem to come, And I feel like my mind is coming undone. But these words have to be just right for you. The hardest part though will be keeping them true. I know what I should say, what you want to hear. But those words aren’t right, they express no fear. And let me say that I am terrified of you, Because to me you don’t realize what you do. The power that you hold over me, Is so much more than I thought it would be. This is all too good to be true, And I know that I am going to get hurt by you. You say that you will make everything alright. But you don’t realize that you are the cause of my fright. I want to believe all the things that you say, But I don’t want to be another sucker for you, no way. Oh but how truly silly of me. I’ve already fallen into your trap, clearly. So many times I said I would not fall for you. But that’s exactly what you’ve made me do.
