Titleless

The musician I never became Singing the song I wish I wrote I count the strands of my life Here I am in a tag of war Feelings of attraction Versus stronger feelings of repulsion Something happened and I responded Because I no longer play victim of bullying Or so I think And they responded And I was left feeling like the bully I had planned not to apologise Why am always the one apologising? Well if I stop jumping into conclusions Then I wouldn't be left feeling this bad Well if I harden my shells a little Then I may stop taking things so sensitively and personally That hasn't worked for me Changing my character I mean Changing the sensitive gold in me That is the ninety percent make of me A 'nemesis' walked passed me Like someone that doesn't like me and vice versa And through I her, I was reminded of a great friend I will never forget how she made me feel The laughter we shared The jokes we exchanged, most of them from her And I a willing receiver I always loved when she worked And I thought, if she was here right now, it would all be jokes and laughter Relaxed and happy Unstressed Unworried Some people just fill in those empty holes Of what we are not And complete our lives
