Twin Libra

your words are distrustful, but let me take your hand

I shouldn't go where you want me to go, but I am unsure where I want to land

your actions have the most dire consequences, but I'm behind you all the way

you mean well, it's clear to me, even when you don't mean what you say

and it's hard to trust you, because I like to believe in your love

and I know that you'd give me the world and much more, if you weren't already giving me enough

and I think that you're helping me, even when your actions say otherwise

and I'm holding out for any handouts you cast off, because the attention out weighs the lies

you are my light, or what you want me to believe, there's balance in your shoes

I'm scared to walk the world alone, and yet, I'm content with your abuse

you offer me silence and anonymity, and sometimes, a place to lay my head

if I could get you out, to live amongst the trees, you'd leave my spirit cold and dead

and I know that I can see you for what you are, another broken man with game

and I want to see the promise of life to fruition, if there was something I could expect to gain

and it's hard to step back into the darkness of my cell, knowing it's always been my resting root

and for you to withhold me from seeing the light, makes me crave more the forbidden fruit

there is no happiness in self reflection

there is no wonder in talking through

there is no living in a world that's forgetful

there is no me, if there is no you

there is time to figure out something better

there is a world still waiting outside

there is a lot of me to keep figuring out

there will come a day when I'll no longer hide
