Spinal Cracks
I think I'm falling in love with you....
But I still have to crack you open,
And it scares me.
You're like a dusty old book in an ancient library long forgotten.
I try to open you,
But I can't force it.
Your spine cracks and with too much force,
It just might snap.
I'm just a kid with her backpack on heading to study,
Looking to learn,
Hoping for the best,
Still hurt but optimistic,
Frightened but adventurous,
Unbelievably worried, but wanting to leap into a future with you.
I understand you,
But whenever you shut me out it wrings my stomach into a knot.
Whenever you distant,
My mind will race and run away from me.
My heart beats until my tears flow towards its gears causing it to short circuit.
I care about you so much I'm always afraid you'll leave,
You'll wander down a dark road and get lost,
You'll never make it back to me.
The anxious knot tightens.
Do you love me like you say?
How much?
You're different, and I don't know what to do.
I long for the day when you'll lay here next to me.
Will I really be the way you picture?
Could I really be that wonderful?
What will happen if I don't meet expectations?
I want an answer,
But will I like it?
Only one can answer,
And he may not even know.
He's perfection.
He's a reflection of myself.
He can lead me in the right direction,
But only if he finds his own way....
