Man of Love
There she goes walking down the street.
Every time our eyes cross, she smiles back at me.
Written down on paper when i'll see her again.
Thinking of ways to approach her the next day while i'm in bed.
But the nerves are to blame. From me telling her my name.
The aftertaste leaves a bitter breath.
Which makes others want to get away.
Why do I continue to be afraid?
Have I lost that fire, have I lost that hunger?
It's like I sink every time I hit the water.
I'm stuck in a cycle I cannot escape.
No matter the path I choose darkness is my fate
Because i'm a slave bound by chains
And everyday I contemplate, whether to fight or whether to escape.
Do you know what it’s like to be the ice that always melts and the fire without a flame?
-
So there she goes a month later walking down the street
But this time with another guy who was more courageous than me
As they kiss goodbye I begin to cry
Because that could've been me if I would have just broken the ice
But darkness is my fate
Bound by chains so I cannot escape
Only when I break free can I possibly create.
An everlasting bond, that’ll definitely be great.
your post looks interesting
Wow what a powerful words my friend. Love the rhymes. Like the person in this poem described we all had times we wish we had a little more courage to approach the girl we liked. Instead, we wait while the other guy takes the leap of faith. :)
Thank you, sharing your heart with us. :)
