Followink

I am terrified, that I got it wrong inside my mind.
Maybe she needs me badly and I just rise to fight.
That she’s trapped here, looking for the light,
I just want to breathe, knowing she’s alright.

For my mind it struggles day and night.
I think of her and feel afraid of heights,
as it’s so easy, to fall straight into her eyes.
She’s not mine, my heart has shrunk in size.

Yes I try to forget, I’m looking for my ways.
I no longer hope that she comes here and stays.
For if she desired, my door it creaks and prays,
to see her walk through, she’s stuck inside a maze.

I feel disgraced, almost shallow,
for I’m chased by my own shadow.
Oh what would I do, if she needed me right now
and her hands in search of mine, reaching, with no clue as to how.

For I did long ago, swear and make a vow,
one word, wherever, I smile and take a bow.
I’d run, through the night, praying for more might,
so I reach her faster and carry her inside.

Where nobody will ever harm,
in my soul, where she’ll bring calm.
The oceans they’ve been screaming,
ever since she’s gone.

I am afraid,
perhaps she couldn’t trust me.
Perhaps I couldn’t wait,
perhaps my soul is ugly.
I’d trade my life for knowledge,
she lays unburdened by weight.

And if she made mistakes,
I am only human,
my heart it does now break.
Not because she’s sinned,
that’s not now why I shake,
it is just so simple,
without her now I wake.

I thought that she was fate.
Regardless let me set this straight,
as long as she’s okay,
let my heart forever ache.

I am now terrified, that it’s all wrong inside my mind.
If she’s lost and can’t hear my cries,
let this ink be a beacon, that she can always find.
