Your Omissions (2/11/2008)

I’ve been trying to write this with the perfect words
To express the confusion and the smiles and hurt
But to observe and understand this, you need to feel it
I’d reveal it, but honestly, I’d much rather conceal it
Cause this feeling that I hold would have to be caution
I’ve been through it all and I’ve traveled the gauntlets
Enough that this warrants just a little concern
So, I’ll introvert this love until it burns every nerve
And, then in spite and in turn, I’d destroy my own spirit
Self destruction is easy if there’s no reason to fear it
I’m peerless, in ways, and it’s tough to be hopeful
When you conceal every truth and hope it’s not focal

What I’m attempting to say is that I’m trying my best here
I just wish I could phrase it so I’d make all the rest clear
Cause we didn’t get here without a certain connection
One that allows us to see the hurt in reflection
And I see it in you and and your omissions of truth
Like the guy, one of many, that you wish was with you
I was pissed, but in truth, it’s my admission to you
It knocked me down hard and broke my vision of you
And in this instance of truth, I’ll admit that it hurt me
Absurdly, I had thought that nobody could burn me
But it spurned me to retreat and put up the walls again
It turned me to the guy afraid that he’ll fall again
It swerved me to the left, breaking it all again
Unnerved me at best, but I won’t pray it all to end
Cause funny as all this is, I’d go through it all again
If it gives me a chance to be special and more than friends
