Petrified By You
A shadow makes me confined
The shape makes me defined
Nowhere near to an identity
My own eyes make me want to be blind
The beauty that’s so untrue
And the world that won’t let you through
Makes me want to know the reasons why
To the person in the mirror, do my eyes lie?
But until today I never realized
How terrified could I be beside
My own territory of the love I’m capable to pursue
But none that I give would be in my lieu
For the voice of someone I love could make me so stupefied
The ultimate opposite of what shall be Erudite
The little cluster of anxiety I foster
The greater desire to expand that I master
Leaves me nowhere but in fear
For they team up and towards me they gear
Final call I heard one day
That was the happiest thing ever I must say
The last breath that I ever took
Hands with death the day I shook
Older and wiser it tells me I grew
But the child in me still shouts it was petrified by you.
