You confuse me
What do you want?
Speak your mind
Or listen to your heart

I do not understand you
Pushing me toward another
Pulling me back into you
Let me go or hug me close

Your words, they contradict
“Bare yourself to me naked”
“Don’t be silly I’m just joking”
Too late to understand the joke now

I am afraid to want you
You give me more than most
Blinded by lust and fool’s trust
I cannot lose that

I am intrigued by you
Promising to be better than the rest
But I have been here before
I’m looking from the outside in

I want to see
You bare yourself to me
Show me what lies beneath the jokes
Because I refuse to jump blind

I will speak my mind
I do not want you
I need you in my life
Let us remain separated by a line

I’ll lock my heart
With a double seal
You do not want it, I know
Yet I am certain you will break it somehow
