Between floors

 


Can't shift this thought,

it's like a lift caught

between floors,

the passengers

banging the walls inside.

Reverberating the words

around my mind.

I sought answers,

but what if my questions

were wrong?

Was I longing for something

that could be wrong?

Was I barking up

the wrong tree all along?

Or did I just never share

the right words in my song?

 

I keep my thoughts

in a space, lodged deep

in my head,

like a nest in a tree

where my imagination

can find its bed,

then when it's ready

spread its wings

and fly, forever free.

Coming back to me anytime

it needs a place to spread.

 

But I still can't shake this feeling,

of unknowingly revealing

what was supposed

to stay hidden.

Thoughts that should

have stayed in the shadows of night,

have somehow found themselves

basking in the warming day light.

 

I wanted to feel,

but is feeling a good thing,

when the sting of pain

is oh so real?

When dejection follows

rejection after sharing

your affection.

Is feeling going to help

when all you feel inside

is deflated hope?

A broken heart tied together

with frayed rope.

 

Can't shift the thought,

That I should have

kept my mouth shut.

Stayed silently stood

in the shadows instead,

but if I didn’t share my heart

how would you know

how much it bled?

How it wanted to hear

every thought in your head.

If I kept my thoughts buried

How would you know

that every beat was there to add

a backing to your chorus.

It wanted you to know

that it was forever yours to own.
