“EMOTIONS”
TELL ME WHY I TRY SO HARD TO HIDE THEM
YET THEY ALWAYS SEEM TO EMERGE WHEN I DON’T WANT THEM TO
IT’S LIKE YOU CAUSE THEM TO SEEP OUT LIKE WATER DRIPPING FROM A CRACK IN A CAVE
YET YOU SENSE THEM IN THE DARKNESS
YOU HEAR THE DRIPPING AND YOU FIND THE CAVE AND THE WATER.
ACTUALLY THE WATER FINDS YOU BECAUSE IT CONQUERS YOUR SENSES AND GUIDES YOU TO IT
WHEN OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN IT EXISTED
SOMETIMES IT’S LIKE THEY HAVE MOOD SWINGS WITH YOU
THEY SHOW YOU THEIR SWEET SIDE, SOFT SIDE, SHY SIDE
TELL YOU SECRETS THEY WOULDN’T USUALLY HAVE TOLD
THEY CAUSE ME TO OPEN UP TO YOU
TELL ME WHY THEY FOLLOW ME WHERE EVER I GO
THEY’RE LIKE AN EXTRA SHADOW
A NEW ONE THAT MAKES ME THINK OF YOU
HEAR YOUR VOICE IN MY HEAD OR SEE YOUR FACE WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES
THESE THINGS I FEEL FOR YOU
I CANNOT EXPRESS THROUGH WORDS OR A POEM
OR THOUGH LYRICS OF A PATHETIC SONG WITH NO BEAT
JUST A SOUND IN MY HEAD SURROUNDED BY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS TO JUSTIFY MY FEELINGS
I CAN ONLY SHOW YOU BY MY ACTIONS
LET YOU SEE THE LOOK ON MY FACE WHEN YOU SAY SOMETHING STUPID
ASK “WHAT’S THE MATTER?” WHEN IT SEEMS OBVIOUS THAT YOU’RE IN A BAD MOOD
YOU AFFECT THEM YOU KNOW
CAUSE ME TO SAY CERTAIN THINGS OR ACT A CERTAIN WAY
AT THE END OF THE DAY IT’S LIKE YOU’VE OVERWHELMED ME
YOU’VE TAMPERED WITH MY FEELINGS AND TRIGGERED MY EMOTIONS
