Platonic- Alone Forever
Date: 12/5/00
An aeon behind in eighteen years,
time alone to cultivate my fears,
I've long forgotten how to speak,
before you I lay pathetic and meek,
I wouldn't know where I should start,
I can't open up to show you my heart,
I'm too afraid of what may come,
What do I do? I want to be numb,
I couldn't stand to cause you pain,
but what you want I can't sustain.
Or maybe I can, I don't want to know,
it's safer that way, I'll just let it go
I've never been able to see who I am,
whatever you see, it's some kind of sham,
I'm not perfect, I can't fill those shoes,
why even try? I'm destined to lose
I don't know what steps to take,
I'm sure to trip, fall and break
I don't want it all to fall apart
so leave it alone, don't even start
So let's stay friends, the same again
someday I'll be ready, never is when.
