Trepidation

My head is spinning my heart is racing
I think of you, I think of her
I just don’t know what to do
My heart is torn in two - my mind is so confused
I think about the ocean and the moon
There is so much to see and so far away
I’m drowning, I can’t breathe, I can’t see
I lay at the bottom of the sea; I try to reach for the moon
I want to hold you, I want to hold her
I fear your love I fear her love 
I fear my future with you – with her
					without you, without her
But I can’t feel, I can’t see, I can’t breathe
It s too much for me It’s too much for you  
It’s too much for her
My head is spinning my heart is racing
I feel no pain, I feel no emotion,
I feel the warmth, I feel the cold
I feel the wind that is beneath my soul
I’m soaring, I’m running, I’m just so damn confused
What do I do about her, what do I do about you
I can’t I won’t I am too weak
Nothing is in reach - Nothing is in sight
I chose this path of uncertainty 
                               Of misguided love
			    Of broken promises
              				 Broken hearts
