Changed Your Mind

I would swallow all my fears to
Seize the chance you hold you dear.
I would let the butterflies in my stomach swarm,
Just to let you feel my warm.

I would sacrifice my ego,
Weep in a state of shame.
I was ready to do anything,
But I just can’t take the pain.

Broken promises; stone-cold stares.
Emptiness at its very best.

I would have felt better,
Fought like a warrior.

Only if you hadn’t
Changed your mind.

Questions

Every question deserves an answer; good or bad.
But the decision to tell the truth – is not mine.

I wish I could do something.

There are lines one can draw to prevent trespassing;
But there are the sneaky criminals who would do anything.

If you knew the dangers in your way;
Then maybe you would turn your face.

But there are some things unstoppable;
And I let it crash my gates.

Every answer deserves a second thought; positive or negative.
But the decision to believe – lies beneath.
