Standing Here

So it would see writing out all my emotions out on paper is all I do
Instead of breaking down, going out there and saying them to you
These feelings and words need to be felt and said to you so bad
They are in my head constantly driving me every bit mad
By my own past, I'm forever haunted
By the unknown, I'm always teased and taunted
I sit here cold, alone, scared, and don't know if I'm at all wanted
The craziest past of all this is that I really believe you feel for me the same
Which doesn't help in easing anything in fact, it only adds to my aching pain
However you truly feel for me, you shouldn't feel in anyway ashamed
Your wonderful vividly wild imagination should never ever be tamed
And your brilliant heart and soul needs to be left unscathed
Your eyes have always touched my heart and soul
These emotions I feel so deep are so far and in complete control
But yet you have to me say what so longingly has to be heart it's so needed
No matter if it leaves me here hurt and bleeding
I know your words could rip and tear my heart
I know your actions could break my soul apart
But I don't think you yet fully get it I've know all this from the very start
With that being said, come on to me say the words I need to hear
Yes even if they are words I may fear
Let your actions speak volumes and let them be crystal clear
Until then I will still long to pull you to me closer and only dream of being near
Only for you with my heart and soul on my sleeve will I still be standing here
