Exposed

My emotions are all over the place
Still even now, I look around and all I see is your face
You is who I long to embrace
My fears are raw and won't subside
Being scared of not seeing you just one more time
Well that's all I ever feel inside
Feelings keep getting in the way
Never leaving me alone day after lonely day
I've told you I'm in love with you
Yet there's still so much to say
But I knew all this time that all this Might be the price I'd have to pay
It's the passing of yet another year
Of not having you to hold ever so dear
And letting everyone into my broken heart peer
Loved ones who I'm glad to have here
They try their best to help me along
However it's me that feels like still I don't belong
Right now death would be so easy as opposed to this
The sound of no longer going through all this pain seems like such bliss
For me it's the living that takes so damn long
Facing the day and having it feel so wrong
Then there's the night with another damn love song
So much time I've wasted holding on to someone with whom I knew clearly 
wasn't meant to be
When i finally realized you belong with me
I was never completely in love with him
That's what I get for dating on a whim
It's my heart that I now wear on my sleeve
Bleeding none the less and longing to be free
These emotions, fears, and feelings of my life I would've never choose
Suppose that's why I'm now left feeling completely exposed
