Dancing Apart
I am such an idiot.
U make me feel like I am slowly going insane.
dancing around each other at arm's length
bumping slightly together, jumping away burned
it's so easy, isn't it? ,
to tell someone how you feel at that point when it can have no impact
When it's beyond the point
when it's clear there's no answer for the unasked questions
So easy to keep that hold
pulling back down, sucking me back in
head says run, instincts say fly, legs want to run
but I am paralyzed by the miniscule hope which gutters like a dying candle
flickers on the thread of oxygen you extended
Would I rather know?
Almost, I wish, I never heard those words pass your lips
they've trapped me here in the clouds somewhere, no up, no down
no way out without tearing the heavens apart
and all torn heavens can give is rain
To stay where the insanity slowly overwhelms
while my soul crushes beneath the weight of a thousand words
built like walls and chains
Or to soar into the darkness without the brace of tenderness and affection I know you can give
That you cannot ever give
Give up whispers my head
Take what you can have says my heart
