Bubble

It’s so perfect in here
Just me and you.
Dreaming of everything we want to see and do.
We can see the world, but they can’t see us
Looking out, being in love.

It’s kind of strange as I want to shout
‘I love this man! It’s what I’m about!’
But that would cause too much pain
So it’s my heart that takes the strain.

The walls so thin they stretch and distort
Changing everything I thought.
And each time the bubble bursts
I struggle not to die of hurt.

Only in our bubble can we be free,
And that’s the thing with bubbles
They pop too easily.

And the higher we float, before the inevitable burst
The harder we fall,
Each time feeling worse.

I’m covered in bruises
Don’t know how much more I can take
I know very soon
I’m going to be break.
I’ll be too heavy to float away
The pain weighing me down
So I’ll just have to stay.
