Over 16,538,763 people are on fubar.
What are you waiting for?
I see you across the field
what am I doing here?
I run and stumble forward
confusion makes me want you near
I can't seem to reach you
you slip through my fingers
like freshly spun silk
the feeling always lingers
suddenly you're yards away
your voice carries on the wind
"Try again" the sounds caress
I can't, to the ground I'm pinned
fighting against the anchorage
obvious it is no use
you continue to beacon to me
emotional abuse?
tears leak out my straining eyes
drowning in my own salty ocean
I awake suddenly with a start
overcome with emotion
cocooned in my blanketing
pillows thoroughly soaked
aftereffects of my dreaming
the nightmares he's envoked
my subconscious yearns for him
but I must stay away
my heart's constant pestering
is leading my mind astray
my heart has no sense of self-preservation
only protected by ribs and bones
my mind knows better so i refrain
to save myself from the unknown.
