Dormant
feelings come and feelings go
always leaving a mark
if only we could choose the ones
that stay locked in our hearts
I pushed it deep inside myself
but it still swims to the top
oozing like an open wound
and nothing makes it stop
I've turned my back and walked away
I've tried to tune it out
it spins me around and I always return
looking for a crack to slip through
leave me, love me, stay or go
the choice is up to you
it seems my will has disappeared
or lays dormant in my soul
