Trapped inside my mind, Lost within my soul
Confusion mixed with happiness, lost with constantly searching
Wondering, questioning, hoping for answers now unknown
Maybe, just maybe, the answers will soon be shown
A bond amazingly strong, a love that suffocates my heart
A connection unlike any other, with powerful emotion oh so strong
A burn from deep within, slowly rising to my throat

Then I imagine your smile, which then makes me smile
Taking away all anguish and frustration from it all
A relationship, a friendship, a sister, whatever we may be
Has grasped a hold of me and making me feel so blind
In mixed directions, turning me in circles, I can no longer see
What do I do? What can I say?
Do you already know? Do you feel the same?
Express my emotions or hide them all away?
Will I benefit or fall, achievement or nothing at all?
I don't think I could feel any worse than I do now
Confusion and frustration it is all smothering me
Not understanding; does anything make sense?
Where did this come from? Please make it end
I don't know how much longer I can feel like this within
As time passes by and you are not around
You would think my thoughts would begin to fade away
You would think it would be easy and feelings would change
But no, wrong answer, please try again
Can't shake these feelings, I at least want my old friend
Seeing you just revives this flame, craving for you
Can't you see my pain?
Open your mind, open your heart, express your feelings and let me know
Should I let these feelings stay?
Or
Should I try to make these feelings go?
