Do I whisper when I should scream?
Do I hurt you when I try?
Do I make things uncomfortable
by smiling now?
I fear that I bring new pain to you
on the turning away.
I built a new heart tonight
so when I lose you I'll survive.
Dear Emily,
why are you so far from me?
And if I leave this place for you,
they wouldn't understand,
and I wouldn't want them to.
What did I do today
to have things turn out this way?
Is falling for you such a sin
that you should be taken away
as punishment.
What did I do
to be lucky enough to love you?
And why must it end
so soon after it first began?
