Deceitful Feelings

I can hear you calling Calling for someone Calling for me I can’t see you Through the thick fog That is my love for you I can only hear you I’m so close I can almost taste you You’re only a few steps away I know it I reach for you Are you reaching for me? Reach for my hand And grab on tight Don’t let go You pull me towards you Envelop me in your arms I feel your heartbeat I feel your warmth I look up into your face Into your eyes You look down A smile on your face Your eyes meet mine Your smile fades They are no longer bright and longing But filled with confusion and hurt Confused because I’m not the person You thought I was Hurt because you know Of the hurt you are causing me I start to back away Realizing the mistake we have both made The smoke has cleared I see it so clearly now You say you’re sorry But you are only sorry for you Not for me I’m sorry for you For the love I had for you The love that you just threw back It seems so unfair You throw me Heart, soul, and body To the sharks below Yet I would have thrown myself In order to save you
