Able To Breath
My heart hurts
renewing old scars
into my soul the pain inserts
past inflictions putting up bars
i need to breath
but the pain is strong
its making it hard to see
and messes up my sense of right and wrong
making me scared
hurting my heart
im sitting here practically impared
drunk off these emotions that never really did depart
im shaking
biteing my nails
scared ill start breaking
pain lashing me like the cat-o-nine-tails
crumbled to dust
afraid that these feelings to him are just lust
my heart is a faint flutter
beating wildely in the cavern of my chest
my heart is falling into the gutter
an old realm of darkness
scared of his feelings for me
scared that their naught
scared that this love is just me
that it isnt us
terrified that ill mess up
screw up my lay-up
and lose the ball
get lost stumbeling down long halls
does he hear the flutters
like a light not sure if its to go out
the way my heart mutters
when ever hes about
if i mess up and lose my all
after i take that fall
if im feeling more than he
and he finds out and gets scared of all we could be
if i continue to be scared
and im with those words im never prepaired
if i lose the chance to speak
because he was waiting on me
if i dont stop rambeling on
scared like a little fawn
what will i become
will it be my fault that i lose my all?
my heart beat slows when hes around
but when hes not it drops to the ground
flopping like a fish out of the sea
not able to really breath
