Frail

Convinced of my deception
I’ve always been a fool
I fear this love reaction
Just like you said I would
A rose could never lie
About the love it brings
And I could never promise
To be any of those things
If I was not so weak
If I was not so cold
If I was not so scared of being broken
Growing old
I would be…
I would be…
I would be…
Blessed are the shallow
Depth they’ll never find
Seemed to be some comfort
In rooms I try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows
You take the cup from me Your dirt removes my blindness
Your pain becomes my peace
