You Are Being Such a Coward

You asked to love you like never before
And I did; I gave you my whole heart, what more?
But you are still staggering, what for?
You've two hearts now, so why are you still torn?

I like your excuses, but not this lie
That you aren't getting enough
Haven't I tried?
I know you are afraid of the road that looks rough

I built a realm for you in my heart
There thoughts of you comfortably sat
But I was deluded, you were never inside there
Instead you are getting weaker and weaker out here

Are you afraid?
To hold my hands and face the world?
Are you such that coward?
That you are shivering and choking on words

I know it is just an excuse which people fake
When they are really breaking down inside, then accuse you brought the break
If you believe you are so far from me then I can overtake
If you believe you are so generous, then step on your brake

I hate it when you say our relationship is weak
Because I know my heart is more than strong
Enough to sustain us for decades of weeks
Then why are you shivering, what's wrong?

If you want to leave, then you are free
Though how i will let the tears flow will be my deal
But I believe we can be more better as you can see
And that's only if you will believe

Stop making excuses, its of no use to love
Its only making it more worse
Let's make up for the lost time, and repair the loss
Become you back, throw away the remorse

Stop being weak and hold onto me
My strength is enough to carry
All the pains and hurts
Just hang in there and hold on more...

A genuinely unique message, and a truthful one too. Well expressed White. Was this inspired by a real experience?
