Wait to Bear

maydanae

What exactly can I say?

And which path to take is best?

When I ask if you're okay

But I don't believe your yes

 

Too quickly did you answer

Threw off the tempo of your speech

As if to trick yourself with prayer

Where no consciousness can reach

 

Yet something glows behind me

Taste it burning on my tongue

Flicker of familiarity

This song: already sung

 

The world was pit against me

No one could understand

Would paint myself a deity,

Simply a helping hand

 

In my eyes I did no wrong

To those who wronged I said "so long"

For I could never harm, I'm sure

When my intentions were so pure

 

Realized it in college

When I thought I was in love

My capability of hurting

Thunder crashing from above

 

And so, I've spent my summers

Really picking at my brain

Through all my reckless blunders

Learned to dance despite the rain

 

I may be young, but not naive

I wear my heart upon my sleeve

And though I grieve for all you've seen

I cannot let the past repeat

 

Far too many times I've tried

To fix what I deem broken 

Far too many chickens fried

'Cause I accidentally choked them

 

For your feelings, I will not beg

So come to me when you've made your bed

And though I wish you luck out there

This cannot be my weight to bare
