Carpe Diem with Me
You hold me
You kiss me
I just want to know
Do you love me?
You've hurt me
You've broken me
You've pushed me away
And now I've fallen back
Into a habit called "You"
But I just want to know
Do you love me?
Worlds aren't your strong suit
You speak me to though songs
Classic rock lyrics forming a window
For me to see into your soul.
A soul that is guarded
From those who don't understand.
A soul that needs an outlet
Somewhere to be free.
Free from the prying eyes
Of those who aren't ME.
but, I'm different. I swear.
I'm here to listen
To be yours.
But, I'm scared.
Scared of what has been.
And, try as I might, I can't escape the fear
I want to be yours
I want to be in love
I want to live out Carpe Diem
To seize the day
To seize it with YOU.
But you don't say the words
That I know your heart is screaming
The words that say you'd like to change
To make us more than a "thing"
But, instead you hold your tongue
Holding, kissing and acting in love
But the words aren't there
And I'm scared
Scared of being used
Forgotten
Objectified
Left out to cry.
Please. Help me to trust
In your regret
In your words.
Tell me that you love me
That you'll seize the day
With me
Always.
