Insubstantial Truth

I lack the element of surprise I keep no secrets or lies There is no darkness in my eyes I have no unsung cries If you ask, I respond true If I am down, you will see blue You won’t ever say you never knew I now belong to you You on the other hand I don’t know what you have planned Or how much you can withstand Or what you will demand To be with you I’d give my all But I don’t want to be the one to make you fall When it is I that you enthrall And I always feel so small Because, for me it’s hard to trust I need to know this can be love and not just lust Accepting my flaws is a must These are things we never discussed You see, I know that lust turns stale And that’s when most will bail I am too insubstantial and frail To see myself, once again, fail
