Liberate Me
I reach for a dream
That I know will never come true
I'm wasting my time
I feel you each time I reach
But I only get to reach the surface
Tell me
Can there ever be
Will there
Would you want
For there to be
A you and I?
Does the thought of seeing my eyes
Melt your heart
As the thought of yours
Melt mine
Forgive me for being a burden
But I am a bondman of this
Dream
Liberate me
Please
Can you tell me I'm wrong?
Can you tell me that my dreams
Are nothing but folly daydreams?
Please
Look into my eyes
And tell me that there is nothing
You could need in them
Because every time I dream of you
The image I've painted of you
Is kissing me
Holding me
Promising me that you will never let me go
I open my eyes
To see love
But not yours
Express to me your heart
My dearest Liberator


Floodgate
The truth is before my eyes.
Can I help
But allow the tears to fall this one time?
I've held back so many times
But now
The tears
My heart has concealed for so long
Are beginning to overflow
And it seems my eyes are the only exit.
My apologies for crying before you
But I've held you so close
For too long
While you keep trying to tear yourself from me.
My apologies
Truly.
You have become my greatest weakness.
My mind constantly contradicts my heart.
You see
My heart believes in the romance
That love has to offer
And my heart
Wants to give it all to you
My mind . . .
Holds back each I love you that I have to say.
Forgive me for not saying it all.
You have open the gates to my heart
And I can't be candid about the way
Your smile makes me illuminate inside.
Honestly.
Letting go of you
Before you tear yourself from me
Is the hardest task you have made me endure.
I love you.
Please
At the very least
Don't forget everything,
I certainly won't.
Forgive me for holding on for so long
But your eyes were so gentle
I just wanted you close enough
For me to see them.
Leave now
Before I open the floodgates of my heart.
I won't allow you to witness me ever again.
Cry . . .

I walked passed you
Trying to ignore your existence
Keeping my eyes to the floor
So my eyes couldn't meet yours
You saw me
You took my hand
And all the resistance I once had
Turned to attraction
When you pulled me close to you
And everything I tried to avoid
Was holding me
You whispered to me
"Walk with me, not passed me
Resistance is futile
You love me
I can see it
Even though you don't want me to."
Those words rang through my mind
And for the first time
In a long time
I was at ease
In your arms.

Fear
I'm afraid of your words
Because they touch me
I'm afraid of you holding on to me
Because I know I'll never want to let go
I fear
You look at me the same way
I think of you
Your smile
Sends shivers up my spine
And I can't help but smile and giggle
You stimulate every emotion
I haven't yet felt
Or tried to suppress
Your eyes expose me
You see right through me
I'm afraid of exposure
That is why I put on brightly painted armor
To hide the samurai fighting inside
I fear many things
Some petty and others typical
But the thought of you knowing what is wrong
Constantly
Strikes fear into every ounce of me
Can you see that?

In the real world
You wouldn't hold me
You wouldn't love me
You wouldn't have noticed me at all
That's what I've told myself at least
In this dream
You're everything I've ever wanted and more
It's hard to define reality when I'm with you
But the moment you tell me you love me
And your grip on me loosens
I'm all alone
No longer dreaming
Realizing the truth
It never could be
It never should be
But my heart wishes there could....
