everything i could never tell you

one breath, and i hesitate    another breath, and i freeze   a final breath, and i've fallen completely.  no one knows my name, cause you’d only call me beautiful and you touched me without  ever laying a hand on my body.  you're hearing me but are you really hearing me?  feeling in extremes comes at the cost of becoming easily attached.  help me understand your love, what does your heart desire?   you're listening  but are you really understanding?  being stuck in the honeymoon phase was  great until i was the only one stuck in it. now there's no pot of gold in the rain- bows we chase, but we still hold on.  hold on, you're trying  but are you really making an effort?  oh, i fall apart but the bitterness won't ruin me, and rejection hurts less than no Clarity at all, so please don't speak  to me in conflicting tongues. lay me down softly
