This distance
keeps me safe
The emotions
I can't take
The physical
is bearable
But to know
the distance
you keep
on your end
would break
my heart
I don't wonder
and sometimes
I don't even
care
But it's everytime
I start to fall
and I catch
myself that
it hurts the most
The confusion
rips me
into pieces
If I could only
bring myself to
ask you
But it's my
words that
I fear
And it's my own
feelings I don't
understand
Sometimes you
feel so close
and then I
turn around
and you're
so far
I fear your
intentions
your emotions
your feelings
your words
But I fear
myself
