Empty Affection
There are words I want to hear
Emotions I want to feel
I've grown so tired of empty affection
Its only there so we won't feel alone
I could write it out-spell it out
Every letter every word
But I've lost my pen and the effort isn't worth
The time it would take to show you
What goes on inside
When the doors are locked and I close my eyes
I think of a simpler time
Funny how music takes you way back when
To times when nothing mattered
You didn't care what could have been
But now it seems "nothings" are all I know
Slowly I reach out to you
I'm careful not to get too close
But for every step I take
It seems you take three steps back
As I turn to walk away- you grab my hand
You can't have it all
Can't have your cake and eat it too
So decide what you want-if you want me too
If I give an inch will you take all I have left?
Your arms are out but will you catch me-
or let me fall?
I'm not willing to take that chance
Will you miss me if I'm gone?
