My feelings Expressed

You are my inspiration,

To write these serenades,

You are the reason,

Why I hide in masquerade.

But, beyond the masquerade,

Theres the side of me,

The side thats afraid,

To fall in love with thee.

Alas thy love and let it die,

For it only weakens my heart,

And sucks my body dry,

Leaving me in particles broken apart.

Rejections just as bad,

As going out and breaking up,

They both make you feel sad,

So I've just decided to give up.

I'd rather not pretend,

It's better to be just friends,

Because I'm not sure when,

I'll be ready to open up to love again.
