Insubstantial Truth
I lack the element of surprise
I keep no secrets or lies
There is no darkness in my eyes
I have no unsung cries
If you ask, I respond true
If I am down, you will see blue
You won’t ever say you never knew
I now belong to you
You on the other hand
I don’t know what you have planned
Or how much you can withstand
Or what you will demand
To be with you I’d give my all
But I don’t want to be the one to make you fall
When it is I that you enthrall
And I always feel so small
Because, for me it’s hard to trust
I need to know this can be love and not just lust
Accepting my flaws is a must
These are things we never discussed
You see, I know that lust turns stale
And that’s when most will bail
I am too insubstantial and frail
To see myself, once again, fail
