About A Boy.

Your power scares me
Your answers intimidate me
Your happiness guilts me
Your love gnaws at me

You seem perfect,
Yet I know youre flawed
You are wrecked
And Im just a fraud

Your passions keep you sane
Your hunger for joy keeps you here
Youre insane
Youre so sincere

How can silly little me
Compare to that?
How can I complain
When your life is in distain?

I am nothing more than a winer
Nothing more than a crying toddler
I am fearful of your reminder
To push the pain away

I cower at the hands of death
While for you, it is a reality
I let out three deep breaths
I try to maintain my mentality

You are so forgiving
You are a man of God
Youll keep on living
With a smile and a nod

Im used to doing this alone
Used to keeping things like this
Between myself and
The stars

Your comfort scares me
But it calms me
Your brilliance picks at me
But it does not bother me

Here I sit
With an empty heart
Begging not to be filled
With the fear of being torn apart

Heartache
Soaked pillowcases
Numbed emotions
And cartons of ice cream

Dont put me through it

I know you wont
And even that scares me
I dont
Want to see

Blindfold me
Lead me on what path you wish
But dont let me see

Broken eyes, as you mentioned
Cannot be fixed
With a pair of glasses

Broken eyes
Is a broken heart
Broken eyes

Are what burn at your cheeks
