trip up

you stay out of my reach
well i don't really blame you
you know they say
the things you love
cause an equal and opposite
reaction
so you react to the pain
when i don't know how to be you
when i don't know how to be
anything but honest
when i call you out on your submission
to some mission
that doesn't support your true cause
but as long as you can own
your lack of will
to really feel fulfilled
as long as that fulfills you
i'm okay with being out of your reach

sometimes you see both sides
and don't care about what's justified
you just want to feel

but i'll empathize and understand
that you're content in quick sand
cause everyone knows
even a helping hand
isn't enough to fetch the already fallen

what helpless submission
to the holding, the kissing
i love the way you see
the beauty in simplicity
but simplicity is far from me

and sometimes i see both sides
and don't care about what's justified
i just want to feel

emotions are chaotic
"you silly girl, you
stop feeling, just be"
i'm sorry
that's jut not the human in me

see most of the time i see both sides
but i don't care about what's justified
i accept the good with the bad
the angelic with the evil
and the strong with the feeble
and if a deeper emotion is not what you seek
that's really okay with me
maybe it doesn't make you out of my reach
maybe i don't want to reach for you
maybe we shouldn't be reaching
for such intricate preaching
maybe we should just accept what is
and be

oh you clever boy, you
i've stopped
but not at your doorstep
be happy.
