Press Pause

                The closer we became
                    the scareder I’d become

                 Inflicting pain
                    with the slightest look
                 No remedy in any book

                  One missed beat
                     a day, a night go by
                   Snarl at the other guy          
                                            
                  Pause now in the dark
                     ~ life is meant to be a lark
