Running Scared

Confusion clouds both heart and mind

There’s an uncertain frown with every smile.

A rhythmic beat in both your hearts

But still remains a fear so vile.

You want to walk but still you run.

You want to feel but still you’re numb.

No matter how much you seem to try,

You’re running scared and you don’t know why.

From a simple glance you turned away

And with every kiss you fall quite deep.

Moments come with each chance passed

It’s a fleeting bliss you just can’t keep.

You want to see but you’re too blind

You want to keep what you can’t find

And as you stare out the starry sky,

You find his fears and you know why

Uncertainty weighs your decisions down,

But still you find the strength to decide.

No matter where you would stand,

It’s the mind whose will abides.
