~~As Stuck as You Are~~

So you're trying this hard?

You're working like this?

You never had

To give me my bliss.

I thought I could wait

Until you came for me

But as it turns out

I can't take you ignoring me.

So you're fighting for me.

So you're fighting for us.

I'm watching and waiting

And wishing I could trust

That you won't turn from me.

That this won't be the end.

I don't want to lose you—

You're still my best friend.

If this is a game

Then why can't I just play?

I can't think of hurting you.

That wouldn't be okay.

So I'm as stuck as you are.

Drowned in the terms of my own beliefs.

Wrenching the knives of my truth

Out of their leather sheathes.

If this is not real,

Then why do we fight?

If this a lie,

Why don't we tell the truth tonight?

How can I trust

You aren't lying to me?

How can I put faith in you

To be good to me?

If I was smart

I'd run away.

If I was smart

We wouldn't have lasted a day!

But I'm as stuck as you are.

So very much in love.

I'll run with you, I suppose

Until the cry of the mourning dove.
