Left to Chance
Hooked on your eyes
My infatuation, accidental
You’re prominent in my mind
The landlord of my mental
I’ve leaned on my patience
Held back, reserved and gentle
But I want feelings I can own
I’m fatigued of these rentals
I know I should be forward
Open my mouth, use my voice
I don’t blame you, or anyone else
Its ultimately my choice
The outcome, it’s written
You could never rejoice
Even if I made you my queen
And traveled like royalty by Rolls Royce
So I’ll stick to the shadows
A hushed, faceless ghoul
You’ll shimmer as you always have
The prized, famed jewel
I’m just a shell in your presence
Beneath even a fool
What you do, reduce me
Unintentional, but cruel
You’re beautiful and pure
Your defense, a naive tool
My emotions can’t be seized
The embers, it only fuels
I long to have answers
Not the ones given in school
My heart relays the doubt
That you, and only you, can overrule
I’d surrender it all
Every last molecule
If you’d take the chance with me, venture out
To the deep end of the pool
