SURREPTITIOUS (Poem)

PLEASE
EXCUSE ME FOR
BEING
SO RUDE IT'S JUST
I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO

BECAUSE I
NEED SOME SPACE
ALWAYS FEELING LIKE
I NEED TO RUN AWAY
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
BUT CAN'T KEEP UP THE PACE

ALWAYS RUNNING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT'S A DAMN RACE

JUST GIVE ME TIME TO THINK
YOU NEED TO WIN ME OVER
WE'RE AT THE BRINK
AND
DON'T NEED TO BE PUSHED OVER

NO MORE EXCUSES
JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF MY FACE
THIS ISN'T FOR ME
IT'S FOR THE HUMAN RACE

I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS

GIVE ME A CHANCE TO
SHOW YOU THAT I CAN WIN IT

I KNOW IT WON'T BE EASY
BUT I'M READY TO BEGIN

AND ALL THAT I ASK OF YOU IS TO JUST GET WITH IT

I'VE LOVED YOU FOR A WHILE
CONSTANTLY THINKING OF YOU

SPENDING ALL OF MY DAYS SLEEPING
HOPING THAT I'LL DREAM OF YOU

MISSING YOU SO BAD
WISHING I HAD YOU BACK

SPENDING EVERY SINGLE DAY JUST WISHING THAT

I'm so alone now
I need you by my side

Without you
It's crazy I've even survived

Damn those eyes
Always left me so hypnotized

Wasting all my days
Why couldn't I realize

That I was doing nothing
But wasting my time

The way I loved you
Should've been a crime

Spending all those nights
Calling you mine

When the truth of it all

Is that it was all just lies
