see the light

astonishingly embarrassed
beyond words
speech has left the building
& is laughing hysterically
from the outside looking in
seriously.
all there is to know is yeah,
it really did happen.
stomach churning.
never fails

nerves rule.
little bastards.

can't think straight
and should be fine by now
this is different
all that mumbo jumbo
couldn't be
won't be
right?

seriously its shocking
how nerves come knocking
sending us into a fit
losing trust when its legit
still have hope
want more than to cope
everything shifts
onto a new melodic rift
wondering how to proceed
when direction is all you need
instead fall in shadow
stepping back from the light
choosing to be shallow
and melt into the night
never ready to give anymore
because its a chore

life decides when paths change.
fingers decide to deceive
eyes tell all lies
baring them to the light
vulnerability fiercely guarded
when we've been broken-hearted

come on, see the light...
