Love.

Love dances round and round--Time is fleeting

But love keeps spinning

Circling

Maybe I'm afraid

Maybe I'm scared

Because when I see love

It's disguised

And I never know

What to look for

Maybe I'm confused

Because I've lost

All faith

That love is out there

That it is more

Than just a myth.

Maybe I'm dreading "i love you"

Because I'm dreading "goodbye"

Maybe I know things

That other people

Are too delusional

To recognize.

Maybe I know

I'm better on my own.

Or maybe

Just maybe

I'm terrified that no one

Will love me

Or be able to see

All the best things about me

Maybe I look for more

Than just "she's so pretty"

As he tells his friends

Love skips and bounds

Circling me

I'm caught in the whirlpool

Clawing my way out

It's a mess of a pink

And red flood

And heart-shaped debris.
