I'M Right Here
I love you,
But I hate you.
I need you,
But I run away.
What can I say?
It’s the price I pay.
I’m mad,
Then I’m not.
I’m sad.
I forgot.
I trust you.
I distrust you.
I’m excited near you.
I’m nervous near you.
My emotions contradict,
And you I cannot predict.
Is this normal when we fall?
Or is it normal at all?
Do you feel me?
Can you understand me?
Do you hear me?
Can you see me?
Reach out!
Flesh and blood is what I’m about.
I am not without.
I’m right here!
I’m right here!
