Topic: Just to Get Through Yesterday

Did you know that your skin melts onto mine
when our thighs touch?
It’s just my silly heart racing, trying to catch up
And when our angles aren’t facing
I back myself into your walls
I smile and pretend indifferent
But I miss you so much.

I always want to explain myself to you
I’ve always got ten thousand things to prove
I’ve got important questions to ask
While I’m staring at your back
And when you turn
Our eyes meet
And I suddenly feel bad for you
Here I am, gnawing at your feet
With all these obstacles before you

How do I say what I mean
Without sounding pathetic
I twitch and start to speak
And I already know I’ll regret it
But it’s too late
here I go
There are some things
You should know

I try really hard to be good
I try to do what I’d hope anyone would
I try to be funny
I try to be brave
But I’ve got a heart that needs loving
And a soul to save
I wonder if you know how much pride I swallowed
Just to live through yesterday
Do you spot it in my eyes
Are you so deliberately blind
And even if you are
Am I so hard to find
I’m awkward and spill out everywhere
Spit at the dark and you’ll see me there
Curled up against the props
A deer in headlights until the curtain drops
So am I more guilty than I feel
Or do I feel more guilty than I am
I haven’t got perspective
Or a backup plan

I’m so easily excited
I think I love love that’s not requited.

where you are going
no backup plan
a scribbled note
an attic fan

the higher you go
the hotter it gets
phoenix thoughts soar
with no regrets

there is no quest
and no grail to find
staircase upward
all in the mind

love all along
was already there
revealing self to it
all on a dare

MizWizard is so right, you don't have to explain yourself to anybody but you don't have to hide from anybody either. Sometimes our fear can keep us trapped in a cage with invisible bars and we are the only ones with the keys. Those keys are hard to use but when we do you'll find out the bars were never really there. I just put mine there because it seemed like they kept me safe but what they kept me is prisinor. Don't forget that you have an angels heart too!! I've seen it in your writing.
