Reality
Spirit, reason,
Minds apart.
Want you close, but you're too far.
Dreams fill the void of what I cannot achieve.
Ears block the words that would cause me to believe.
Afraid of the future.
Afraid of the past.
Afraid that what I want just wouldn't last.
Maybe it would and that's the real fear:
the fear of hurting those who are near.
Just stay away, I can't bear the thought
of me being so happy that I get caught
in the fantasy world and hurt you so.
I can't bear the thought of letting you go.
It'll hurt even more if you're in pain.
And if I caused it, then I'm to blame.
It's jut not worth it, I believe.
You can just stay,
it will be me who leaves.
