Untitled Poetry 2

26 April 2007

Sitting here with Tori Amos in my ears
She reminds me of the melancholy
I have over you, do you know?
Told everybody I’m just being a friend
Now that I’ve gone in deep and fast
Walls you built keep closing in on me
When’d you become this aloof?
How can you stay so cool?

We both know what lies ahead
People who might say we ain’t right
People who will say anything
You say you’re only being careful
Why listen to and worry about them?
Let down your guard, my dear
And just hold me close tonight
And let me see the you that you hide so well

This can’t be worth all this pain
I’ve harbored inside this frail, shambling heart
Walk away, I’ve thought so many times
So weak over you have I become
I cower and let you take away
Another piece of my heart bit by bit
A smile on my face permanently etched
With which to fool you, fool me

We both know what lies ahead
People who might say we ain’t right
People who will say anything
You say you’re only being careful
Why listen to and worry about them?
Let down your guard, my dear
And just hold me close tonight
And let me see the you that you hide so well

I’ve bared to you everything of me
Yet you haven’t fully shown me yours
Hide beneath the simplicity of your complexity
Throwing me a story or two
Let them say what they want to say
Let down your guard, my dear
And just hold me close tonight
And let me see the you that you hide so well

We both know what lies ahead
People who might say we ain’t right
People who will say anything
You say you’re only being careful
Why listen to and worry about them?
Let down your guard, my dear
And just hold me close tonight
And let me see the you that you hide so well
