Why are people so inclined to display false intentions
to love someone and hide it for fear of rejection
to love someone in itself is nothing to hide
vulnerability and shame are the consequences
no, not punishments, just a step from ideal
to look directly into their eyes as they stare
what a rush compared to aversion and gawk
putting your feelings on display is confidence
what a burden it lifts from your chest
as the outcome is placed in their hands
the worst scenario being one without change
to end up nowhere is the largest tragedy
but what tragedy is one with no regret?

Mind cleared, thoughts smeared
Not sure how I feel about this
Drowning in an OD of feeling
or sinking in a pit of apathy

It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable
and quite frankly I'm shaken
Still seeking where it came from
and pushing to discover its end

How can I be blamed for this
tossing of words and smiles
when my heart was unveiled
too fast for my mind to follow

Humiliation or redemption
unfortunately out of my control
two minds so alike
that their flaws keep them apart
