Sleuth
Love said in truth
It takes a slueth
To know if it is true
Or just meant to leave you blue
Should I hide
I can't decide
What does it even mean
After what I have seen
Should I run
What can be done
Can I afford another fall
Build around my heart a wall
Is love real
What's the deal.
Should I stay alone
You know what love has shown
Don't know what to do
Don't know if love is true
Is it even real
Can someone really feel
I want to hide
I must confide
I don't understand this
Is there really bliss
The first kiss
I have my fear
It ends in a tear
Should I close my eyes
Pretend it's all lies
Walk the other way
Alone should I stay
So set in my way
Love means pain
Nothing will I gain
By letting go my heart
Nothing must I start
A heart that knows pain
Such a dark stain
I wish I knew
What was true
But I really don't
So I guess I won't
Risk finding a heart that's fake
Not worth the chance I take
So why must I try
If I'm only going to cry
