Apologetic Frustrations

A culmination of nights not so far past. I'm not sure how all this works out, but I really like how it turned out regardless.

To live, I bleed; to love, I shed
To die, I bleed and to hate I shed
I wear this heart on the sleeve
So that you'll know me and of me
Without these walls I raise

With but just a light tap on my heart
All doors open wide and all secrets are given light
All to a simple task of asking
There are no shadows before you
Even if a mystery remained in full swing

The only thing that holds me back
Is the fear of scaring you away
Yet it seems I can't stop all the leaks
I'm sure you know these dams are about to burst
How you're still around baffles me at times

I know I must hold back, I am doing the best I can
I know now isn't the right time
I shall wait until the time is right and you're ready
Though frustrating that I can tell all but you
I by no means regret that I can

How often do I come close
To show how I wish to honor you
Yet as soon as I begin to kneel toward your feet
The water begins to splash and the things ruined
A moment lost once again to bad timing

For now, I shall pray and I shall wait
We shall talk, and I shall pray, and wait
I will listen, I shall wait, and pray
For soon I will see you and will wish to talk
Then I shall wait, in hopes that we shall pray.
