I don't apologize
For what I have revealed
I am what you have gained
By the way, I haven't changed
I've simply been sleeping
Not wishing to wake up
And when you squeeze my hand
I struggle not to withdraw blood
But now I'm divided
And I try to regroup
These choices haunt me
And refuse to surrender
One more beautiful face
To pull my gaze away
Though I don't remember
I am reminded of the pain
And my barriers fade
And my weaponry falls
For I am too perplexed
To keep defending myself
I cannot approach her
Even though we're so close
So I guess it shows truths
And it proves my weaknesses
Boredom and confusion,
the alchemy of romance.
