Stuck In Between

STUCK IN BETWEEN
It's all about your fancy words and egocentric personality.
You long for the high places, the praises that befall your majestic carpet And am just this poet laureate wanna be You see adoring your flaws.

Have you thought of seeing me as a potential partner?
Not for your cat walk but for the good and bad walk.
Am lost in your game of off and on.
I can't guess what's on your mind, so highly tucked in your tuxedo you show mixed feelings like a pair of buttons on your mixed colour shirt hidden inside.

Am confused, this mixture of confusion has me in another man's pathway. 
Am at crossroads.
He tells me what I don't want to hear but what I need to hear because he means it and his eyes can show.
His gaze commands a response from me but here I am waiting to decipher between you two.

Am bleak and blank.
Am tossed backward and forward.
Am stuck in between , so here I am searching your inner chambers.

Feeling safe in your blissful air, I feel safe in his voice.
Feeling teased in your hidden emotions, I feel like I'll lose something if I choose him.
Feeling loved in your sarcasm, I feel loved in his vulnerability and words of assurance.
I just want the best but I can't see past what am shown.

 I can't feel past a turtles skin am just but a hurt girl seeking true love in a vast land.
 If loving you is a sin then am running relentlessly to the alter where I belong.
