Mixed Emotions

Closing in on me like a room without a light
Bearing down like the sun on my skin
It tears away at me like anforgettable lyric
Skiing on the edge of the truth and a lie
Have you heard of it, you probable have, 
It's despair, what a a horror.
It's praying that you wake up the next day
The wish that your arms will still welcome back those who left
Trying to decide if I should stay or go 
The thought that I might turn away
Switching my mind about things that I want
It's hope, what a world would be without it...
It's waking up with a message on your pillow that expresses one's true feelings
Seperating the hate, from the feeling too hard to explain
Not caring about the rumors that you know in fact lack truth
Hearing those three special words that will make or break a relationship
Have you felt it, the tug on your heart?
It's called love, and that's all someone really wants..
To be loved.
