Hey,
Look me in my eyes,
Tell me it’s not true,
Look me in my eyes,
Show me the real you.
Now,
Remove that mask,
I can handle what’s beneath.
Dare I ask,
What is it you’re afraid I’ll see?
What am I to do,
When I try and can never let go?
I worry and ponder,
Sit and wonder,
Asking if it’s ever enough.
I’ll fall once,
I’ll fall twice,
But is the third worth a shot?
If you were a red,
And I was a blue-grey,
Will you set it on fire;
And let this passion burn away?
Will I rain down droplets of hope,
Or will it be despair?
Is your fire a flaming torch,
Or is it a dying flair?
Why await you to make the move,
When really,
I’ve played it all.
I’ve shown you all my cards,
Now got nothing else to prove.
So what am I to do,
When I try, and can never let go?
All I do is,
Worry and ponder,
Sit and wonder,
Asking if it’s ever enough.
I’ll fall once,
I’ll fall twice,
But is the third worth a shot?
Hullo~
The followers count is nearing 80 (or is it 80 already?) Just a few more and I’m hitting the jackpot!
Okay no, maybe not the jackpot but 100 is a very grand number. I’m being hopeful.
Anyhow, what do you think? It’s supposedly not a poem– this one should be my first attempt at song writing. I get that the chorus should be repeated more but when I tried, it just sounded too.. too much? I don’t know. But what do you think? Should I give this song-writing business more tries or let go entirely? Also, can any of you wonderful humans suggest a song name? I couldn’t come up with any *sad sigh*
Have a blissful day,
Midnight Ranter (aka Ayaka)
You should totally make this into a song! I mean, really!!! I know I’m the kind of person who has a habit of holding on to feelings (even when they hurt) but I guess I just get toooo attached to people or sometimes things and this piece just says it all!
P.S. Can I repost this one on my facebook? I just want to share this beautiful work of yours!!
