if we could sit down and have a real talk
are you willing to hear what I have to say?
would you be receptive to this weary heart
as it splattered red
up against your face
running down your legs
all over your clothes

or would you sit there
like you had no clue?
like you never noticed
you, sitting there
showered in blood from head to toe

or do you think for the first time
you might actually get it
and maybe even understand,
for a moment
understand from where I'm at

love doesn't die once the embers been lit
after flames have breathed in that light,
love doesn't forget overnight after night after night ...

I would ask you to explain
the exact reasons why
after we speak I can't sleep,
how you creep next to my dreams and disturb everything
and I do mean everything,
enticement demands its release!
why does your presence stay long after you've gone?
reeking havoc all through my home ...

no rest for my soul
I can't be losing control
all because friends is what we've decided to be,
agreed we did
you and me ...

yet,
this is far deeper than that
and still
we skate around bullshit!
acting like buddies
not wanting to say
refusing to believe
because it's easier this way ...

but for who?

Author's Note: How many ways can you tell someone you love them, completely? How many ways can you tell someone there could never be another? Regardless?
