Bound To Hurt xx
xx Back
i told you i would call.  so many times, and again i have failed you.  i couldn't bare to hear your voice, the one i want so badly to have resonate through my head.  something about hearing your beloved voice, would set me off--like a firecracker in july.  i'll color the sky with my love for you, but i know this love will fade.  just like the sparks to the colorful show.  its bound to hurt.

you will wait for my voice again tonight, just as you have the several past dusks and dawns.  i have become strangely selfish, wrapping my soul up in a cocoon to protect me.  somehow i have justified salvaging my heart at the risk of breaking yours.  seemingly i've become the hyprocrite, hurting the ones i don't want to hurt.  and maybe this all is untrue, and i'm only hurting myself.  whichever way--its bound to hurt.

i tell myself to be strong, to give in to the friendship you've given so freely.  but i know to call it merely friendship would be such foolishness.  for there is a warming spot you've created in my heart, a fire to my hollow cave.  its so warm, and i would give anything to rub my hands before its glow.  yet fire's jump, and i might catch fire.  its bound to hurt.

you offer love, and i want it so bad.  i'd let it all go, but its bound to hurt
