Dark Clouds

its so hard to know exactly 
where and how to start
afraid that any moment
it could all just fall apart
seems an eternity since beginning
yet only took an instant to get to love
so much of the time is spent
driven by or else paralyzed from fear
and threatens for erupt in such a mess
trapped playing roles meant to hide us
because it might be criminal to confess
you pretend the truth is not in front of you
but you've got to see it's real
why pursue things any further
unless deep down its what you really feel
it could be happy ever after
and break my heart to live with less
all this so i don't have to lose you
one risk that is just not worth the guess
