Daily confessions failed to question the neglected rejection

I feared

How could I have been so naïve as to believe feelings would be retrieved after so many years

Your assurance set ease like a cool summer breeze that caused a tingle               behind my knees

I was hooked

The pure joy of discretion taught me the lesson that my imperfect perception had often mistook

I reasoned with my head that my heart would endure

great accomplishments to come

But I unknowingly bribed my soul thinking I’d redefine my role;

put my pride on hold !

so just with you I’d become one

The coveting of my mentality was much too less to control so on my way I was sent

Practice made perfect, hapless conversions, tactless unnervings

I underwent

No more could I deny the lies that resided inside I had no choice

but to depart

It was hard for me to see the confusing animosity because I only loved you from the start

The arrival of your dismissal led to the denial that made official, no matter what time continues to stay

But as the silence grows louder and the weakness gains power

As hard as I try I can’t take the love away

Although I attempt from day to day
