Confession:

Lost on an emotional coaster
Filled with the fear of stopping
Intoxicated in the idea of more
Tortured with a choice
Listen for the words
Share with me my voice

The truth behind this wall
Answering the obsession
Fighting all the temptation
Building my confession

The weakness within
The story that’s hidden
An emotion so strong
True feelings forbidden

Friendship masked with a lie
Crush beyond ones fault
Secret underneath the skin
Lust inside my vault

Fear of the unspoken
Longing for the real
Journey undefined in today
Escaping just to feel
Presence lost in direction

The truth behind this wall
Answering the obsession
Fighting all the temptation
Hear my confession.
