Speechless

A girl does that to you

I cannot find the words when you are before me

Thus my vocab finds refuge beating about the bush

I wonder how long my misdirecting humor would save me

My jokes have constantly become my sanctuary

A garrison which yet also a tiresome prison

Restricting my true expressions in a facade

Whenever I see your face I feel grateful

The rhythm of my heart becomes rapid and unstable

I try to curtail the emotions by evading your gaze

I may appear calm towards these fervor

Yet the intensity causes a turmoil within

I have decided to bare all the words

The lyrics have been hidden for far too long

My physical disposition have whispered some

But now I feel the need to ascribe a direct approach

This declaration must be made swiftly

For I can no longer remain speechless
