A Thousand Confessions

Ok, so you called me out one last time

Said exactly what was on your mind

I wanted to explain a little more

But we always run out of time

Always are running out of time



To tell everyone the truth would be unexpected

Underrated, not understood

You wouldn't know what to think

I know I don't



I do not date out of desperation

Relationships come with time

Dating never had such high expectations

But maybe we rushed into it this time



If I think about her while I think about you,

I get confused

I no longer know what I want to do

She gives me comfort

That of which I havent felt for so long

Since you've been gone

Since Christine's been gone.



This isn't about love

I can't even speak the word

I can't even think the word

I don't want to bring up that word



Maybe it's about lust

All the physical things in life

The things you need

Someone who comforts,

Someone to trust



I complicated everything more than anyone could have done

More than you

More than anything I can ever say



I need to leave

I need to run away

Like I always do

When it comes to you



It just seems easier that way

I write what I want to say

But I cannot say

Instead I leave these poems for people to find

To analyze in time

To understand what is on my mind

To see I am walking blind



I love my past

I hate my past

I wish that once it would last
